Reading edition
Boyd, “Table of Weights of the Human Body, etc.,” Philos. Trans. Roy. Soc. London, 1861; Bischoff, Das Hirngewicht der Menschen, Bonn, 1880. The difference remains nearly the same if, instead of the weight of the body, we take its surface, as was attempted by E. Dubois (Bull. Soc. Anthr. Paris, p. 337, 1897).
