It is somewhat puzzHng that such a position should betaken by the brain of a creature possessing no greaterdimensions than the Dolphin. But we need more infor-mation as to the exact characters of the brain in thelarger Cetacea, in which, according to the rule previouslyspecified, the complicacy of convolutions ought to beextremely well marked—though their diminished powers
