200 STUDY OF BRAINS OF SIX EMINENT SCIENTISTS AND SCHOLARS. 



in Chicago (1889) his head was injured. Insanity developed subsequently. The 

 autopsy was performed by Dr. E. P. Noel. The brain was described by Dr. Thor 

 Rothstein. The weight of the brain was 1720 grams. In general the gyres are broad. 

 The right occipital fissure anastomoses with the paroccipital and exoccipital fissures. 

 The callosum, judging from the drawings, seems of large size. R. Dewey : " A case of 

 Circular Insanity," Jour. Amer. Med. Assoc, April 30 and May 7, 1904. 



107. Lenz, Rudolf, Hungarian violinist. A pupil of Joachim, was a highly tal- 

 ented violin-virtuoso and professor of music. His brain, immediately after removal, 

 was found to be somewhat softened and weighed 1636 grams. The most notable 

 feature in the cerebrum is the great expansion of the sub-parietal regions, particularly 

 of the right side. J. Guszman : Anai. Anz., April 12, 1901, XIX, pp. 239-249. 



108. SziLAGYi, Desider, Hungarian statesman and orator. To judge from the 

 half-tone reproduction accompanying M. Sugar's description of Szilagyi's brain it 

 appears to have been poorly preserved. The weight of the brain was 1380 grams. 

 The article lacks much in the way of precise anatomical observations and betrays but 

 an indifferent familiarity with even general details of macroscopical cerebral morph- 

 ology. (See the author's more extended criticisms referred to below.) M. Sugar:

109. Siljestrom, Per Adam (1815-1892), Swedish physicist and pedagog (Stock- 

 holm collection). An eminent physicist and pedagog; he was connected with the 

 Paul Gaimard Polar Explorations, and is best known for his valuable researches on 

 Mariotte's law and for his efforts in behalf of the school systems of Europe. Most of 

 his work in this line was done subsequent to his visit to the United States in 1849-50, 

 where he studied the various school systems and published his views. His intellectual 

 abilities are spoken of as having been of the highest order. Siljestrom's brain weighed 

 1,422 grams and is splendidly developed. Its convolutions are particularly rich in 

 the frontal and parietal association areas and it appears in most respects more complex 

 than do those of Gylden and Kovalewski. The brain shows special order of normal 

 asymmetry so typical of the higher brains. As in G3dden's and Kovalewski's the 

 right sylvian fissure is shorter (47 mm.) than the left (58 mm.), and the marginal gyre 

 shows a similar complexity ; these features are of interest in their possible relation to 

 the mathematical abilities of these persons. G. Retzius : Biol. Untcrsuch., N. F.,

110. Wilson, Henry (1841-1902), American statesman. The name "Henry 

 Wilson" is said to be an assumed name used by Jeremiah Jones Colbraith. He 

 changed the original name when he came of age. He was Vice-President of the
