The present study is preliminary to an investigation on the postnatal growth of the cerebral cortex in thickness, in the case of the albino rat. For this purpose it was necessary to learn the changes in shape and size of brain-represented by the cerebrum -which occur during postnatal growth and to record these changes in terms of linear measurements. The growth of the brain, as represented by increase in weight, is tabulated in “The Rat” (Donaldson, ’15). As yet however we have no records concerning the shape and dimensions of the brain-or cerebrum-in relation to increasing weight or age. Hatai (’07) has given detailed measurements on the skull of matuie albino rats, from which we can infer approximately the shape and size.of the adult albino rat brain, but measurements for the younger stages were not included. As a first step in this study, I had to ascertain the relation existing between the weight of the entire brain and of the cerebrum during growth. For the purpose of a more detailed study, Donaldson has divided the entire brain into four parts, i.e., the cerebrum, the stem, the cerebellum and the olfactory bulbs, and investigated the increase in weight of each of these parts and the changes in the weight relations among them, during postnatal growth (unpublished observations, partly presented in a Harvey Lecture, December, 1916). From a like investigation on my part,
