A biologist's reflections on the human brain by J. Z. Young, F.R.S ., Professor of Anatomy at University College, London
8-Made in What Image?
Throughout his lectures Professor Young has drawn attention to a characteristic habit of the human brain-the habit of comparing new information with models already established in it by past experience, the alternation of certainty with doubt. New models are constantly required by scientists for the interpretation of new discoveries. In his final lecture Professor
Young comments on the models used by previous generations of biologists and indicates the new sort of comparisons modern scientists will have to make if they are to interpret adequately the latest research into the processes of life.

The Great Land-mass
Talk by G. F. Hudson
In the second of two talks on the Atlantic voyages that culminated in the discovery of America, G. F. Hudson , Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, describes the course of the expeditions from southern Europe in the fifteenth century. These Portuguese and Spanish voyages led first to the settlement of Madeira and the Canaries and then to the discovery of the West Indies and South America; through them the great land-miss, the hidden continent, was revealed. Mr. Hudson atso considers the claim, revived by a speaker at last year's meetings of the British Association, that the Portuguese explorer Dualmo. and not Columbus, was the first man property to * discover America.
