which obtains between the Brain of these animals and 

 that of Man. Such experiments have been made with 

 much skill and judgment by Dr. Ferrier,* to whose 

 writings the reader must be referred for full details as 

 to his numerous observations, and the validity of the tests 

 adopted. Here there is space only for a brief enunciation 

 of the results and conclusions at which he has arrived.

These experiments of Ferrier are supposed by him to 

 support the notion that ' perceptive centres ' limited in area, 

 and topographically distinct from one another, exist in the 

 cortex of the Cerebral Hemispheres. His facts, however, 

 do not necessarily carry with them any such interpretation. 

 They are quite capable of being explained in accordance
