612 Cerebrology in Phrenology. 
as the animals which we are considering are not attached, but are 
nomadic in nature. There is nothing to prevent a comparison between 
the nomadic life of deep water and that of the Arctic, even if the 
facies of the abyssal zone is different from that of any oceanic fauna of 
the globe. While the difficulties in the investigation of the animals 
of the polar regions are such that much remains yet unknown in 
relation to the surface life of these latitudes, the similarity of that 
of the Bay of Fundy to it, if such a likeness really exists, renders 
this study comparatively easy. It becomes imperative, then, to 
know accurately the facies of this fauna if one would use this 
knowledge in comparisons with deep-sea faune. 
CEREBROLOGY AND THE POSSIBLE SOMETHING 
IN PHRENOLOGY. 
BY S. V. CLEVENGER, M.D. 
ee years ago, in the American Journal of Nervous and Mental 
Disease, I reviewed the history of brain studies, from Erasis- 
ratus to Ferrier, and described the conyolutions and fissures with 
their equivalent names as used by English, German, French and 
Italian investigators. Microscopic details had at that time added 
immensely to our knowledge of the structure of this important 
organ, but since then pathological and physiological science has cor- 
rected many of the errors prevalent and improved our understand- 
ing of the localization of function. 
When it was established that arm, leg, tongue, ear and eye cen- 
tres were distributed about the brain cortex, beneath alleged bumps 
of conjugality, appetite for music, theology and onions, phrenology 
was discouraged except among its more ignorant devotees. At the 
conclusion of a popular lecture on the anatomy and physiology of 
the brain I was assailed by an itinerant phrenologist who did not 
relish his dollar-a-head prospects being jeopardized by the spread 
of my heresies. He offered to stake money on the infallibility of 
his “science” in a public demonstration, and when told that phre- 
nology had been written up in a form available for criticism and
