animals born blind, corresponds with a similar (undeveloped) 

 condition of those parts of the brain that have unquestionably 

 to do with voluntary movements and the higher functions 

 generally. 



The limits assigned to thispaperwill prevent my going further 

 into details.but I hope sufficient has been brought forward to show- 

 that in animals lower in the scale as well as in man there is a 

 development to the mind as to the body ; that this development 

 follows, as does that of the physical organism, certain laws ; that 

 there is a close relationship between mind and body, and that we 

 must, if man is to be understood, study him in connection with 

 animals lower in the scale. Man is not apart from but a part of 

 nature, and the sooner the world ceases to isolate man and pro- 

 ceeds to investigate him as a part of a grand whole, the better it 

 will be for man and all other animals.

Coleman, A. P. Prof. — " The Anorthosites of the Rainy Lake 

 Region." — Journal of Geology, Vol. IV., No. 8, pp. 907 — 91 1 

 Chicago, Nov. — Dec, 1896. 



The quartzose granites of the Rainy Lake district, which 

 hold the important gold-bearing veins, have been carefully 

 studied by Lawson and Coleman in various reports to the 

 Dominion and Ontario geological surveys. The barren anortho- 

 sites associated with these had hitherto been neglected. Prof. Cole- 

 man describes the anorthosite rock of Bad Vermilion Lake and 

 Seine Bay region. It is of post-Keewatin age and differs from the 

 typical anorthosites of Quebec described by Adams. "More than 

 nine-tenths of the rock is seen to consist of plagioclase, usually 

 sprinkled with zoisite particles.or more or less completely changed 

 to a saussuritic mass." " An analysis of the freshest rock studied 

 (from Seine River mouth) shows " a low percentage of silica and 

 soda and high percentage of lime compared with Quebec 

 anorthosites."
