There is convenience in dealing with the anterior and posterior central, or middle, or transverse, gyres (ascending frontal and parietal), in companionship with the central fissure, and without prejudice to this fissure as a boundary line between frontal and parietal lobes; although one might say much for a distinct “central” or, better, transverse lobe; of which the Insula may be taken as an annex.

I have much pleasure in acceding to the request of the editors of this Journal to give my personal experience of “suggestion” (with or without hypnosis) as a therapeutic agent.

It is more than half a year since I gave notice that I should draw the attention of this Association to the question of Medical Secrecy, and invite the Association to give an expression of opinion upon it. On the first occasion the subject was postponed at the request of the President, and on the second, at the Annual Meeting, I was unfortunately prevented by urgent business from being present.

My paper to-day—entitled the Relation of Diabetes to Insanity—is practically a continuation of one which I had the privilege of reading before the Annual Meeting of the British Medical Association last year, and which subsequently appeared in the Journal of Mental Science last January.
