Georges Potjchet.— " Memoire sur FEncepliale des Edeutes." Journal de I'Anatoinie et 

 de la Physiologie, tome v. 1868 aud tome vi. 1869. 



In this important work figures of tlie actual brain in the genera Tamandua, Ci/doturus, Chlamydopliorm, 

 Dasypus, Manis, and foetal specimens of Bradypus, Cholcepus, Tatasia, and Orycterojnis, have been given in 

 addition to cranial casts of Cholcepus, Orncteropus, Mylodon, and Glyptmhn. 



I have been unable to consult Pouchet's earlier " Memoires sur le grand Fourmilier." 



Patil Gervais. — "Memoire sur les Formes cer^brales propres aux Edentes vivants 

 et fossiles." Nouvelles Archives du Museum d'Histoire naturelle de Paris, 

 tome V. 1869. 



Contains an excellent series of figures of cranial casts of all the representative existing genera of Edentates as 

 well as most of the extinct forms. In addition there are figures of the actual brain of Mynnccophaya, Manis, 

 Dasypus se.vcinctus, and a young Orycteropus. 



A. H. Gabeod. — " Notes upon tlie Anatomy of Tolypeutes tricinctus, with remarks upon 

 other Armadillos." Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, 1878, 

 pp. 222-230. 



The earliest description of the brain of Tolypeutes : in addition the author describes, with an excellent illustration, 

 tlie brain of Xenurtis. 



W. A. EoBBES. — " On some Points in the Anatomy of the Great Ant-eater {Myrmecophaga 

 jubata)." Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, 1882. 



The best account of the brain of Myrmecopliaya yet published. 



W. TuRNEB. — "The Convolutions of the Brain." Journal of Anatomy and Physiology, 

 vol. A-xv. 1890. 



Professor Turner adds brief notes and two figures of C'holoepus Iloffmanni to his previous contribution dealing 

 with Basypns. 



H. Eabl-Puckhabd. — " Einiges iiher das Gehirn der Edentata." Archiv fiir mikro- 

 skopische Anatomic, Bd. xxxv. 1890. 



This brief memoir represents all that has hitherto been accomplished towards the elucidation of the histology of 

 the brain in Edentata, and concerns itself merely with the anterior commissure and the presence of a longitudinal 

 ependymal fold in the roof of the aqumductus Sylvii of a foetal Xenurus. The most valuable feature of this memoir 

 is the excellent series of figures of sections stained by the method of Weigert. 



Max Webeb. — " Beitrage zur Anatomic und Entwickclung des Genus Manis." 

 Zoolog'ische Ergebnisse einer Kcise in Niedcrlandisch Ost-Indien II., Leyden, 1892. 



Contains the best description of the brain of Manis hitherto published, with illustrations. 



At the time when this investigation was undertaken the literature included in the 

 above list represented all that had hitherto been published (so far as the writer is aware) 

 concerning the anatomy of the brain in the Edentata. But since the present memoir was 

 announcedj Professor Howes has kindly called my attention to a brief note concerning 

 a monograph upon this subject, which unfortunately has not been publislied *. 



Quite recently Ziehen has published some comparative notes upon the brain of Manis 

 in the first part of a large monograph upon the brain in Monotremata and Marsupialia t .
