distinguished : (1) Vertical stripes on the trunk, circular ones on the extremities, 
and stripes forming acute angles in the regions where those of the trunk and 
extremities meet and on the forehead and cheeks, e.g. Grevy zebra. (2) Longi- 
tudinal stripes on the trunk, as in some young wild swine and in tapirs. This is 
a primitive type and is frequently found in combination with type 1. (3) Verti- 
cal stripes of the trunk extending to the extremities, which have no circular 
stripes. This type is restricted to some domesticated animals and never occurs 
in wild forms. The arrangement of stripes varies greatly within the same species 
and even in the two halves of the bodj^ The author attempts to correlate the 
stripes with the folds in the skin at various stages of growth. The arrange- 
ment and direction of skin folds in the new-born rabbit, for instance, resembles 
closely the stripes of type 1.

A study of the fissures in 26 well preserved brains of chimpanzee from the 
interior of Cameroon. The most interesting result is the conclusion that the 
brain of the chimpanzee is fully as variable as that of the white man. As in the 
human brain, the Sylvian fissure in chimpanzee is longer on the left side than 
on the right; only four brains showed a reverse relation.
