    ‘Vi instinct conies into play, and we should therefore expect that the motor centres connected directly or indirectly with it, such as the centres for voice, would be further removed from the crucial sulcus, or fissure of Eolando, than the motor centres required for the obtaining of food. This we find to be actually the case, but I am not at present in possession of sufficient data to enable me to extend my paper to this branch of the subject. Even should the conclusions at which I have arrived, and which I have here stated, be erroneous, the hypothesis that the motor centres are arranged in the way I have described will enable those who have experienced difficulty in remem- bering their position to do so with ease, as I have had occasion to observe in the case of students. For convenience of reference I give here in tabular form the corresponding centres as numbered in Ferrier’s work on the Functions of the Brain, and in Figs. 1 and 2 in this paper.
