ABSTRACT

Can we estimate the size and shape of the brain from the outline of the skull ? Certainly we can, and this is the view of nearly all the anatomists, from the ancient time of GALEN, to BLUMENBACH, MAGENDIE, GRATIOLET, CuvrER, BRocA, MANOUVRIER, WELCKER, VrRcHow, ZucKERKANDL, EcKER, 0BERNIER, SrR CHAs. BELL, S. G. MoRTON, and modern anatomists .
