The first appearance of the fissure of Rolando is probablyin some of the Carnivora, in which, as the sulcus crucialis, it formsthe posterior boundary of the ursine lozenge described by Mivart(Journ. Linn. Sac. vol. xix., 1886) (see fig. 22, Sulc. Cru.). In the SULC. ORB, OLF. BULB. . HJP. DENT. \- COMM. D SULC. ORB. From Cat. England.

It is usually concealed in European brains by the overgrowthof the surrounding gyri, but it occasionally remains, though lessfrequently than in the brains of Egyptian fellaheen. Its relation tothe white stria 0/ Gennari is especially interesting, and isrecorded by Elliot Smith in the Anatomischer Anzeiger, , 1904, p. 436. The rhinal fissure, which is so charac-teristic a feature of the lower mammals, almost disappearsin Man, and is only represented by the incisura temporalis(see fig. II, ). The hippocampal fissure persists with littlemodification all through the mammalian class. The cal-carine fissure remains with many modifications from themarsupials to man, and in view of the famous controversy of1864, in iWhich Owen, Huxley and the then bishop ofOxford took part, it is interesting to note that its hip-pocampu
