 bargh. presided over 'this section. The subject of 

 his address was M Some Distinctive Charact. : 

 Human Stnieture." The distinctive character 

 of man, such as his er-et carriage, the peculiarities 

 of his spinal column, and his: special i/ed extremities. 

 discussed at length and contrasted with simi- 

 lar features in oth-r animals, and especially the 

 apes. .tl cavity in man was shown to be 



larger than in any other vertel. rate except in the 

 elephant and in the larp- whales, in which the 

 huge mass of the body demands the great sensory- 

 motor cent- (-rain to he lar^e. His dosinff 

 remarks % know that an animal is guided 

 Ahich it provides for its 



individual want- and fulfills M Nature. 



In man. on the other hand, the instinctive acts are 

 under the influence of the reason and intelli- 

 and it is possible that the association (enters, with 

 the intermediate association fibers which 



them with the sensory and motor < -ntTs. maybe 

 the mechanism through which man is emit*

does this control become, and the more do the in- 

 stincts, emotions, passions, and appetites become 

 subordinated to the self-con* i u^ principle which
