The redons of the skull marked 1 were left unnamed bv Gall. 



The hypothesis of Gall, which for a time counted numerous adherents, 

 was subsequently almost entirely forgotten, and only resuscitated in more 

 modern times by the labors of English and American investigators. 

 Although the general principles remained the same, the number of organs 

 was increased from twenty-seven to thirty -six, and the name of the science 

 changed from Cranioscopy to that of Phrenology. 



Some phrenologists, with Noel, assume the following six regions as con- 

 nected with the mental faculties : 1. The posterior basilar region, containing 

 the cerebellum, and supposed to be the seat of the instinct of reproduction. 



2. The lateral basilar region, the region of the ear ; the seat of the inferior, 

 selfish feelings; the propensities to self-aggrandizement, distinction, &c. 



3. Tiie posterior region of the head above the cerebellum, the seat of social 

 qualities, love of children, attachment, fidelity, &c. 1. The region of the 

 vertex, or crown of the head, the seat of the higher egotistical feelings, as 

 self-esteem, love of approbation, &c. 5. The anterior superior portion of 

 the head, the seat of the higher moral and religious sentiments, as benevo- 

 lence, veneration, firmness, conscientiousness. 6. The forehead, the seat of 

 the intellectual organs, the perceptive being situated in the lower part, the 

 reflective above. 



We shall now, in conclusion, present the order in which the different 

 mental faculties are mapped out by phrenologists of the present day, refer- 

 ring to pi. 120, figs. 18-21. 



A. Propensities or Instincts. 1. Arnativeness : lies between the occi- 

 pital condyles. 



2. Philoprogenitiveness : lies above the middle of the cerebellum. Its 

 form varies ; in some it is an oval elevation, as in females ; in others it is 

 more elongated. 



3. Inhabitiveness : beneath Self Esteem. It produces the desire of perma- 

 nence in place. 



4. Concentrativeness : lies between Philoprogenitiveness and Inhabitiveness. 

 The power of concentrating all the faculties on one point. 



5. Adhesiveness: on each side of the preceding. Attachment, friendship, 

 love of society. 



6. Gombativeness : situated on each side, at the inferior posterior corner of 

 the parietal bones.
