We have been engaged for some time past on inquiry into the physiology of the cerebral cortex of the anthropoid apes. We are able to lay before the Society some new facts regarding the topographical distribution of function in the anthropoid brain. Our experiments have been carried out on individuals representing the four speciesPithecus satyrus (Orang),Troglodytes gorilla (Gorilla),Troglodyte niger (Chimpanzee), andTroglodytes calvus (Chimpanzee). The specimens so far have included ten adult individuals. OfTroglodytes niger one individual used was only a few months old.
