MR. ST. GEOEGE MITAET ON THE 



Meles *. — I find tliat the Sylvian gyrus has its anterior limb 

 tlie narrower, and the parietal gyrus single both in front and be- 

 hind. The sagittal gyrus, on the contrary, expands very much 

 forwards and is very contorted, and has certain superficial linear 

 depressions on its more posterior part. The anterior part of the 

 cerebrum is very largely developed, the crucial sulcus being placed 

 A^ery far back. A small, but very distinct, secondary sulcus extends 

 forwards and inwards in either hemispbere from very near the 

 middle line of the crucial sulcus. Thus a very small Ursine 

 lozenge is formed, but one which is at the same time very definite 

 and distinct. I have had no oj)portunity of ascertaining whether 

 the calloso-marginal sulcus is continued forwards on to the 

 crucial sulcus, but it is represented as so doing by Krueg.
