Abstract
PROF. MARAGE, who is well known as an otologist and for his researches in physiological acoustics, has issued a small but suggestive pamphlet on what he terms the education of the auditory centres. It is known that there are cases in the clinique of the aurist where there is sensitiveness to even feeble noises while there is deafness to music and to speech. In others the patient may hear noises, music, and even speech sounds, but without any understanding of the meaning of the speech sounds. Prof. Marage explains these facts on the supposition that the cause is not to be sought in the mechanism of the ear alone, but in the relation of this mechanism to different parts of the brain.
