Forexample, in the lowest plane of either series we find firstthe different systems imperfectly or not at all differen-tiated. Then, as differentiation of these progress, wefind an increased dominance of the highest system—thenervous system; then in the nervous system, the in-creasing dominance of its highest part—the brain;then in the brain the increasing dominance of its high-est ganglion—the cerebrum; and, lastly, in the cere-brum the increasing dominance of its highest sub-stance—the exterior gray matter—as shown by the in-creasing number and d
