1881. Owen, in Jrnl. Linn. Soc., XVI. 133. In the Mammalian series I have to observe that, in the lower and smaller members, as the brain loses in relative size and complexity, the pineal or conarial and pituitary or hypophysial bodies and connections show a relatively larger size, with a less parenchymatous and a less interrupted tubular structure than in the human brain.
