In a series of experiments with two hundred and seventy-eight male brains, it was found that the average weight was forty-nine and one-half ounces. Similar experiments showed that the average weight of the female brain was forty-four ounces. In proportion to the size of the body a woman's brain is very nearly as heavy as a man's. Weight has nothing to do with brain power, for many an idiot has been proven to have as large a brain as that of some of the great intellects of history.
