 Gorilla. 



The three principal Fissures already referred to, viz., 

 the Sylvian, that of Kolando, and the External Perpen- 

 dicular, divide the outer surface of the Hemisphere into 

 four Lobes, in the manner already described (p. 292) ; 

 and though their relative size is very different in the several 

 creatures in which they exist, these Lobes may be considered

to represent strictly homologous parts in inferior Monkeys, 

 in higher Apes, and also in the Brain of Man.

 Marmoset, throughout the Quadrumanous series, though 

 it is absent in all other Mammalia.
