"The brain of the adult human male,"' we are told, "comprising the whole contents of the cranium as far as the occipital foramen, will average in weight 50 ounees, and that of the adult female about 45. The maximum weight of the healthy brain is about 64 ounces and the minimum about 31. In cashes of idiocy it has been found weighing only 20 ounces. "In men, according to the commonly recid authority, "there is no fixe-relation between the size of the body and that of the brain a small man may have a large brain and vice veisn. Men of great intellectual power have generally, if not always, possessed large brains, though the quality of the brain is quite as important as the quality." Broca place the lowest limit of brain-weight com patible with human intelligence at 30 ounces in males and 32 in females, the average weight of the European male brain being -19 ounces. The X. V.

Sexatok Jones ami Uepresent ative Cassidv of Nevada have had frequent conferences of late in re gard to the proposition to annex .Idaho Territory to Xeada, except four counties, the residents of which are r-nid to favor being an nexed to Washington Territory.
