 bral surface, "the seat of conscious 

 mental life, has become enormously 

 enlarged in area. " 



*"The psychoplasm or sentient 

 material forming the psychological me- 

 dium from which the soul derives its 

 structure and its powers." — Lewes, 

 "Problems of Life and Mind," vol. i., 

 p. 111.
