Dr. Macartney exhibited a drawing of the base of the 

 brain of an idiot, in which there was a singular deficiency of 

 the cerebellum ; and also a cast of the brain of the chim- 

 panzee, and one of the human brain. These two, making 

 allowance for the size, almost perfectly agreed with regard to 

 external appearances.

 the Lord Lieutenant, presented to the Academy an ancient
