In no field of medicine is investigation so difficult ; in no department of research is so much time and skill required for comparative studies. Among the criminal insane, especially, coarse brain and men- ingeal disease has been found. In a series of ninety-two au- topsies of criminals, Lombroso 26 reports the following brain lesions, viz. : Meningeal opacities and adhesions, 3 ; slight ossi- fications in various parts of the brain, 3 ; osteoma, i ; softening, 2 ; hemorrhagic points, 5 ; arter...ial degeneration, 4 ; tumors, 3 ; adhesion of posterior horns, i ; hemorrhage into the lateral ventricles, 2 ; cerebral and cerebellar abscesses, 2. Flesch 27 examined the brains of fifty criminals, and found abnormalities or anomalies in all. In twenty-eight he found, in different cases, meningeal disease, such as adhesions, pachymenin- gitis interna hemorrhagica, tubercular meningitis, leptomeningitis, edema of the pia mater, and hemorrhagic spinal meningitis ; also atheroma of the basilary arteries, cortical atrophy, and cerebral hemorrhage.
