Maps of the quarantine area for the

anese beetle quarantine stations at
Riverton, N. ]. The maps show the
increase Of 5,9O8 square miles in the

this year includes a stretch across
Northern Pennsylvania and seven

regulated territory in Pennsylvania of
4,537 square miles, or from 5,292

NEW DELHI, India, December H.
Reports from the frontier state that
King Amanullah of Afghanistan and
Queen Souriya have taken refuge in
a fort, the army having turned against
them.
While disturbances in the remoter
sections of Afghanistan have ben re-
ported recently, today's advices were
the first indicating that the diSaffec-
ton had spread to Kabul, the capital, a
city of about 100000 population.
The trouble at Kabul was attributed
to the Kings drastic westernization re-

There are 80 such brains in the COL
lection, ranging from 910 to 1920 cubic
centimeters, all from Peruvian and Cal
ifornia Indians. Human brains smaller
than this are pathological, coming from
microcephalic idiots A fair normal for
the human brain, DR.. Hrdlicka says,

and 1,450 cubic centimeterS for the

collection range between 500 and 600
cubic centimeters. Brains OF organs
and ChimpanzeeS range from 800 to 500

Not of Strictly Human Type.
The gorilla brain, DR.. Hrdlicka says,
Is not of strictly human type. Besides
the divergence in size, the conf1gura-
tionS of the cortex are not the same,
although there is striking general like
ness. 1t is impossible at present to
make comparison of the percentage of
nerve and glia cells.
DR.. Hrdlicka is not convinced, how
ever, that the gorilla's most notable
non-human character, inability to talk,
is due to the structure or state of de-
velopment of the brain. Rather, he
feels, 1t may be due to the contorma-
ton of the throat and vocal cords. The
ability of the gorilla to understand
spoken language and to act upon a
spoken command would show, if it can
be demonstrated, the existence of
speech association areas or of a speech
association function, DR.. Hrdlicka be-
lieveS
All the apes, he is convinced, learn to
understand language to limited de-
gree and can act upon spoken COM
mands in a way which is more compli-
Gated than simple conditioned re-
sponse. The quite distinct abilities to
understand and to repeat language, DR..
Hrdlicka believes. would vary greatly
with individuals, but with an unlimited
supply of gorillas, he holds, it might
be possible to breed race of talking
apes. Such an experiment, of course,
would be impossible in practice.

When gorilla meets a cockroach, the

When a gorilla meets cockroach, the
result is comedy.
N'gi, the 3-year-old ape boy at the
Zoo, was the chief actor yesterday in
such an encounter before large crowd
of spectators in the monkey house.
He was playing with a medicine ball
when he noticed the insect on the floor
Of his cage. He Immediately replaced
the ball in corner and leaned over the
cockroach, seeming to study it intently
and making no move to touch it.
For several minutes he remained in
this study. Then the cockroach darted
under some hay on the floor N'gi pro-
ceeded to hunt for it in the hay, finally
uncovering it and reSuming his boy-like
scrutiny. 1t was something new in his
world. Now the average animal who
saw cockroach for the first time prob
ably would be concerned only with
killing it or playing with it-although
he might be deferred by fear. Curiosity,
entirely without fear or desire to cap
ture, seems a strikingly human trait,
according to DR.. William M. Mann,
director of the Zoo.
Finally N'gi retired to low bar in his
cage and continued for long time to
Scrutinize the insect. All the time he
made no effort to injure it,
approximately 100000 persons have
visited Ngi during the 10 days he has
been in Washington. Yesterday they
came so fast that it was necessary for
Zoo attendants to form the visitors in
a line past his cage, the first time this
has been necessary with any Zoo ami
NAL.
The gorilla appears to be fitting well
into his new environment, according to
DR.. Mann, and has remained in excel
lent health. Already he has been much
studied by scientists and artists, but the
major scientific studies planned have
been deferred until there is some decline
in popular interest and 1t is possible TO
make use of him under more natural
conditions. One study already under
way is of his phySiogomy, being con-

An adequate morphological study of
the brain of a gorilla remains to be

DR.. Hrdlicka has been one of N'gi's
visitors and has been impressed
with the boylike behavior of the little
fellow.
