.STUDY OF BRAINS OF SIX EMINENT SCIENTISTS AND SCHOLARS. 201 



United States with President U. S. Grant. The brain, which was removed by Dr. D. 

 S. Lamb, weighed 49 ounces (1389 grams.) 



111. GoLTz, (1834-1902), German physiologist. In a communica- 

 tion from Professor Ewald to Professor Schwalbe (thei hitter informed the writer) the 

 brain of Goltz is reported to have weighed 1395 grams. After the removal of the 

 pia and drainage it weighed 1324 grams. 



112. BouNY, Joseph, French jurist and notary (Paris collection). A half-brother 

 of the celebrated geographer E. Reclus and the surgeon Paul Reclus. Bouny's stature 

 was 175 cm. He was very intelligent and his memory is said to have been a remark- 

 able one. The brain, which was fully described by Manouvrier is well developed and 

 1935 grams. The callosum is unusually small. Manouvrier : (Considerations sur 

 rhypermegalie cerebrale et description d'un encephale de 1935 grammes, Rev. Anthrop., 

 XII, 1902, December. 



113. MiHALKovicz, Hungarian biologist. The brain-weight is c^uoted as being 

 1440 grams in Sugar's list. M. Sugar : " Orvosi Hetilap," 1902, p. 8. 



114. Powell, John Wesley (1834-1902), American geologist, ethnologist and 

 soldier. On the death of Major Powell in Maine, his remains were embalmed and 

 brought to Washington. Dr. D. S. Lamb performed the autopsy about 60 hours after 

 death. The brain, which weighed 1488 grams, was preserved in formalin and placed 

 at the writer's disposal for morphological study. The most notable feature in this 

 brain was the great redundancy of the sub- parietal regions on the right side, encroach- 

 ing considerably upon the sylvian cleft. A full description is given in the memoir 

 cited below. Edw. Anthony Spitzka : A Study of the Brain of the Late IMajor 

 J. W. Powell, Amer. Anthropologist, V, 4, October to December, 1903. 



115. Letourneau, Charles (1831-1902), French anthropologist (Paris collection). 

 The weight of the brain was 1490 grams, without the cerebellum (?) 1318 grams.

117. KuPFFER, Carl von, German anatomist (Munich collection). Professor Bol- 

 linger, of Munich, states that the brain of v. Kupffer weighed 1400 grams. 



118. Laborde, Jean Vincent (1830-1903), French physiologist and anthropolo- 

 gist (Paris collection). The brain-weight was low, 1234 grams, largely due, probably, 

 to age atrophy. Dr. Laborde's notable powers of speech led Papillault to examine the 

 subfrontal gyres of the two sides with special care, and he found the left one to be 

 larger and more differentiated. In general, the cerebral convolutious show an aver- 

 age degree of development and complexity. Papillault : " Premieres observations
