what species shows the deepest and most numerous and winding convolutions? in which is the cerebrum largest, as com- pared with the cerebellum 1 ? If he found all these characters highest in the gorilla, he would not be diverted from the just inference because the great size and surpassing physical power attained in that species masked the true data from obvious view. The comparative anatomist would look to the caecum and the ischial integument : if he found in one subject of his comparisons (T...roglodytes) a long 'appendix vermiformis cseci, ' as in man, but no 'callosities, ' and in another subject (Hylobates) the ischial callosities but only a . Short rudiment of the csecal appendix, he would know which of the two tailless apes were to be placed next 'the monkeys with ischial callosities and no vermiform appendix, ' and which formed the closer link toward man. He would find that the anthropoid intestinal and dermal characters were associated with the absolutely larger and better developed brain in the gorilla, chimpanzee, and orang ; whilst the lower quadrumanous characters exhibited by the csecum and nates were exhibited by the smaller- brained and longer-armed tailless gibbons.
