 be traced farther by any experimental means yet devised." 

 Although Ferrier's determination of the sites which are 

 of most importance for each Sense require more confirma- 

 tion by other workers than they have yet received, before 

 they can be finally accepted as correct, the discrimination 

 and ability with which his experiments have been con- 

 ducted should ensure for them that careful and thorough 

 testing which their importance deserves.

Well conducted experiments upon animals are pecu- 

 liarly needed and suitable for throwing light upon this 

 obscure problem as to the possible localization of ' perceptive 

 centres' in the Hemispheres, because when numerous 

 trials, as to the effects of local stimulation or destruction 

 of different regions of the Hemisphere, may have enabled 

 the experimenter to fix upon some portion of the cortex as 1 

 the main seat of one of such centres, it is then in his
