Scott, W. B. 1898 Brain of Cynodictis. In ‘‘Notes on the Canidae of the 
White River Oligocene.’’ Trans. Amer. Philos. Soc., vol. 19, pp. 
374-375, pl. 19, fig. 12. The brain of this early canid differs consider- 
ably from recent dogs in the large size of the cerebellum which is 
“simpler than in the recent dogs.’’ Scott observes in regard to the 
nature of casts: ‘‘It should not be forgotten that the brain-cast very 
probably fails to reproduce all of the fissures.’’ 
1913 Brain casts. In ‘History of the land mammals in the western 
hemisphere,’ p. 41. Refers to the importance of the study of brain 
casts.

show evidences of brain structures. 
SmirH, G. Extior 1899 The brain in the Edentata. Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond., 
(Zool.), vol.7, pp. 277-394, with 36 figs. The brain of the glyptodonts, 
and Megatherium are referred to in comparison with the brains of 
recent Edentates. 
1903 The brain of the Archaeoceti. Jour. Comp. Neur., vol. 13, 
no. 1, pp. 41-52, with figs. The brain of Zeuglodon is studied from two 
casts derived from the Eocene deposits of Egypt. This brain is com- 
pared with that of a Monodon fetus and Cogia greyi. The brain 
of the zeuglodonts, in common with other early mammals, shows a 
strong development of the cerebellum, with apparently smooth cere- 
brum. 
WIEDERSHEIM, RopertT 1878 Ueber Labyrinthodon riitimeyeri. Ein Bei- 
trag zur Anatomie von Gesammtskelet und Gehirn der triassischen 
Labyrinthodonten. Abhandl. d. schweiz. paleontolog. Gesellschaft, 
Pd. 5, pp. 1-56, mit 3 tafln. .The supposed brain cast of this triassic 
labyrinthodont is very dubious. If a cast of a cavity at all, it is that 
of the cranial cavity and not of the immediate brain-case. The size of 
the cast is out of all proportion to the size of the skull. The results 
of the paper are open to grave question.
