﻿CRANIAL 
  CAPACITY.

  a 
  skull 
  contains. 
  Professor 
  Huxley 
  tells 
  us,* 
  

   on 
  the 
  authority 
  of 
  Professor 
  Schaafhausen, 
  

   that 
  some 
  Hindu 
  skulls 
  have 
  as 
  small 
  a 
  

   capacity 
  as 
  46 
  cubic 
  inches, 
  whilst 
  the 
  largest 
  

   Gorilla 
  yet 
  measured 
  contained 
  upwards 
  of 
  35 
  

   cubic 
  inches. 
  This 
  represents 
  a 
  difference 
  of 
  

   volume 
  of 
  less 
  than 
  11 
  cubic 
  inches. 
  But 
  

   the 
  difference 
  between 
  this 
  Hindu 
  skull 
  and 
  

   the 
  largest 
  European 
  skull 
  (114 
  cubic 
  inches) 
  

   amounts, 
  according 
  to 
  the 
  same 
  authority, 
  to 
  

   no 
  less 
  than 
  68 
  cubic 
  inches. 
  Nevertheless 
  

   the 
  significance 
  set 
  by 
  the 
  facts 
  of 
  nature 
  

   upon 
  that 
  difference 
  of 
  11 
  cubic 
  inches 
  

   between 
  the 
  Gorilla 
  and 
  the 
  Man, 
  is 
  the 
  

   difference 
  between 
  an 
  irrational 
  brute 
  confined 
  

   to 
  some 
  one 
  climate 
  and 
  to 
  some 
  limited 
  area
