According to Professor Max Weber of Amsterdam, the oiily animáis which surpass man in the absolute weight of their brains are elephants and whales, bnt there are se ral that rank ahead of him in the ratio of the brain weight to the total weight of the body. All of these, however, are comparatively snmll animáis. Among them are many monkeys and certain menibers of the sqnirrel and mouso families. No animal of greater bodilysize than manhaaa brain which is relatively as large as hls. Upon the whole, it seems that man's mental superiori ty is due ratherto the quality and organization than to the size of his brain.
