In the table from which the above weights were
taken, the brain weight of
several distinguished individuals

This
indicates that the weight and volume of the brain, is
not the only factor to be considered in determining
the relative intelligence of individuals.
while admitting
between the development of
Quatrefages,
"that there is a certain relation
the intelligence
and the
volume and weight of the brain," says, ''But, at the
same
time, we must allow that the material element,
that which is
appreciable to our senses,
is not the
only one which we must take into account, for behind
it lies hidden an unknown quantity an x, at present
