52. VON Lasaulx, philologist (Munich collection). The brain weighed 1,250 

 grams. His stature was about 170 ctm.; death was caused by heart disease. Riidinger 

 gives a figure showing the complex and expanded development of the parieto-paroc- 

 cipital region. BischofF: "Das Hirngewicht des Menschen, 1880, p. 127. Riidinger: 

 Beitr. z. Anat. d. Affenspalte, 1882. 



53. Buhl Ludwig (1816-1880), German anatomist (Munich collection). The 

 brain weighed 1,229 grams. Riidinger calls attention to the better development of 

 the right subfrontal gj're as compared with that of the left. BischofF: "Das Hirnge- 

 wicht d. Menschen." Riidinger: Beitr. z. Anat. d. Sjyrachcentrums, 1882. 



54. VON PoEZL, German jurist (Munich collection). Riidinger mentions the 

 superior development of the left subfrontal region. The weight of the brain has not 

 been published. Riidinger : Beitr. z. Anat. d. Sprachcentrums, p. 44. 



55. ScHLEicH, Martin (1827-1881), German humorist, writer and orator (Munich 

 collection). Riidinger states that although the subfrontal regions of both sides are 

 well developed, the left one preponderates. The endocranial cast shows a greater 

 prominence on the left side in the speech-area. The brain weighed 1,503 grams.

56. KoBELL, Franz Ritteu von (1803-1882), German geologist and poet. Brain- 

 weight, 1445 grams. Amnion : " Die natiirliche Auslese bei den Menschen." 



57. Meyer, Ludwig, German surgeon (Munich collection). The brain is men- 

 tioned in Riidinger's two memoirs, but no brain-weight or other details are recorded.

58. Skobeleff, Michael Dmitriewitch (1843-1882), Russian general (Moscow 

 collection ?), died in Paris of heart paralysis. The autopsy was conducted by Dr. 

 Neiding, assisted by Dr. BeHne. SkobelefF's stature was 173 cm. ; circumference of the 

 head, 57 ctm.; circumference of the cranium, 54 ctm. The brain weighed 1451 

 grams. It has probably been preserved in alcohol, for a morphological description 

 by Prof Zernoff, of Moscow, appeared later. The cerebrum is large and well devel- 

 oped. There is a decided redundancy of the association-areas as compared with the 

 somsesthetic (sensori-motor) zones. The frontal lobes are especially well-developed 

 and the cerebral shape merits the adjective — " bombifrons." " Poids du cerveau de
