Difference Beiwe&n Infantile and Adult Brain.—The fissure of Sylviusin its relation to the spherio-parietal and squamous sutures occupies ahigher position in childhood than in later life. Symington and McClellaUjin studying frozen sections of the brain of chiklren under 7 years of age,found the Sylvian fissure above the squamous suture and covered by theparietal bone. Fissure of Rolando.—The position is the same in the infant as in theadult. The Cerebellum.—This is much smaller in the child than in the adultin comparison with the cerebrum. The convolutiofis of tJie hrain are more shallow in the infant than inthe adult. The depressions or sulci between the convolutions are not sodeep in the infant as in later life. The special centers
