The Journal of the Linnean Society of London . See Leuret, I. c. p, 381; and P. Gervais, p. 144, pi. ix. fig. 6. 14 MR. ST. GEOEGE MITAET ON THE Meles *.—I find tliat the Sylvian gyrus has its anterior limbtlie narrower, and the parietal gyrus single both in front and be-hind. The sagittal gyrus, on the contrary, expands very muchforwards and is very contorted, and has certain superficial lineardepressions on its more posterior part. The anterior part of thecerebrum is very largely developed, the crucial sulcus being placedA^ery far back. A small, but very distinct, secondary sulcus extendsforwards and inwards in either hemispbere from very near themiddle line of the crucial sulcus. Thus a very small Ursinelozenge is formed, but one which is at the same time very definiteand distinct. I have had no oj)portunity of ascertaining whetherthe calloso-marginal sulcus is continued forwards on to thecrucial sulcus, but it is represented as so doing by Krueg.

The Sylvian gyrus is very much broaderposteriorly, the anterior limb being exceedingly narrovp. Theparietal gyrus is quite simple, and its anterior and posterior limbsare about equal. The sagittal gyrus is enormously expandedanteriorly. Its most j)osterior part is quite simple and single,but behind the crucial sulcus it is longitudinally grooved. I
