On _post mortem_ examination the following observations on Sir James Simpson's head were made:--
Skull--circ.u.mference round by occipital protuberance and below frontal eminences, 22-1/2 inches.
--from ear to ear, 13 inches.
--from occipital protuberance to point between superciliary ridges, 13 inches.
Brain--weight of entire brain (cerebrum and cerebellum) was 54 ounces; the cerebellum, pons, and medulla oblongata weighed 5-1/4 ounces.
The convolutions of the cerebrum were remarkable for their number, depth, and intricate foldings. This was noticed more particularly in the anterior lobes and the islands of Reil.
