“…More recently, Gibbs has investigated the frequency with which tumors in various parts of the brain produce certain symptoms. 7 The material consisted of 1545 records of cases verified at operation, or by necropsy, or both. The more or less mental symptoms of which he took cognizance in the course of his investigation were aphasia; olfactory, gustatory, visual and auditory hallucinations; irritability; jocularity ("Witzelsucht," puerilism); and drowsiness.-In the order of their frequency, these symptoms were distributed as follows:…”

Intracranial tumors are of fairly common occurrence, but it would be impossible to state their exact incidence. Many cases are not recognized during life, the tumor being discovered at the post-mortem examination. Undoubtedly many more cases remain unrecognized in patients for whom a necropsy is not done or only a necropsy which does not include opening the head. Some idea can be gained, however, from the following statistics:According to the Census Bureau report of mortality in the United States Registration Area for 1930, all deaths (exclusive of stillbirths), deaths from cancers and other tumors, and deaths from brain tumors were distributed in the white population, by sex and age groups, as given in Table XLVIII. 1 -The census figures show that 99.07 per 1000 of all deaths were deaths from various tumors; and 0.68 per 1000 of all deaths were deaths from brain tumors. The figures also show that the factors of age and sex have an important influence on mortality from tumors in general and from brain tumors.-For tumors in general the highest figure per 1000 of all deaths is found in the age group of 40 to 59 years, namely, 154.94. For brain tumors the figures are lowest in the age groups under 5 years, and 60 years or more: 0.06 and 0.22, respectively; but are relatively highest and vary little in the age groups of 5 to 59 years, the average for these groups being 1.48.-Tumors in general are, on the whole, distinctly more common in the female sex; but brain tumors are slightly more common in the male sex, especially in the age groups between 5 and 59 years, the figures being 1.54 and 1.34, respectively.Necropsy statistics are, of course, much more reliable. Among 6000 consecutive necropsies, recently analyzed by Courville, on the basis of experience in the Los Angeles General Hospital, brain tumors were found in about 1% of the cases. 2 Mental disturbances are present at one time or another in the great majority, if not in all, cases of intracranial tumor; and in some cases they are among the earliest manifestations. 3 However, relatively few

I. THE BODILY FUNCTIONS THAT ARE IMPORTANT DETERMINERS OF INTELLIGENT BEHAVIOR: INTRODUCTIONThis chapter of the Yearbook, dealing with the bodily basis or correlates of intelligence, necessarily differs somewhat in scope from the preceding chapters. It is impossible to give, even in summary form, all the relevant evidence, which could be collected from a great variety of sources, that bears directly or indirectly upon the problem of the relationships of the make-up of the human organism and the correlated intelligence of the human individual. Among the various technical fields of knowledge in which information on this subject is to be found are anatomy, physiology, pathology, embryology, histology, anthropology, neurology, surgery, comparative psychology, and a dozen more subdivisions of these special fields. Keeping in view, therefore, the general purpose of this Yearbook, it seems best, in this chapter, first, to try to make clear the assumptions underlying the evidence that what we call ' intelligence ' is indeed grounded in the activity of the living organism, and second, to give some indication to the reader of the possibility of further study in this field, which is at once too technical and too extensive for full consideration here. Many of the bibliographical references given will be of especial value to the reader who wishes to go further into this subject and many of these books and articles themselves contain large lists of references.
