Excerpt from On the Convolutions of the Human Brain It cannot fail to be noted how very scanty is the Ame rican literature on the subject. This may, however, be only a seeming meagreness due to a limited circulation of American as compared with French and German periodicals in this country. The Cheiroptera, ' it will be seen, are conspicuous by their absence. This is the more remarkable when cousi dered in comparison with the Edentata - a group which, to judge from the little which is known of the visceral anatomy of its members, would hardly be expected to have so full a brain-bibliography as it possesses. It has been found convenient, in accordance with the most modern system of classification, that man should share with the monkeys the order Primates.'
