 variations are well known to be very great ; hence it is necessary to 

 examine a large number of brains before the arrangements of the 

 sulci which characterize a particular species or genus can be 

 detected. 



At the time that Krueg's important memoir upon the Ungulate 

 brain was published (1879), there were but few figures of the Perisso- 

 dactyle section of that group ; besides the Horse only the Indian

Rhinoceros and the American Tapir were at all known. At the 

 present time we have also figures of the brains oi Rhinoceros sondaicus 

 (Bedtlard and Treves [1], pi. xxxvii.), Ceratorhinus sumatrensis 

 (Garrod [7], pi. Ixx.), Tapirus indicus (W. N. Parker [10], pi. iviii.), 

 besides the additional figures of Tapirus terrestris which are given 

 in this paper. It seems therefore to be now more permissible to 

 compare the American Tapir with its allies than when Krueg wrote.
