    convolutions can be readily tilled in (i o. c., 2 o. c., 3 0. c., Fig. 2). The above description has been taken from a series of dissections made by myself and kindly allowed to be carried on by the demonstrators of morbid anatomy in the post- mortem room of St. Thomas’s Hospital. It has been fre- quently tested on the dead body and found to be accurate, and is merely intended to afford for practical purposes a general idea of the surface of the cerebrum in relation to the scalp. It does not take into consideration the shape of the head in different races, or in those heads which present an abnormal outline from pathological conditions.
