Abstract
IT may be known to some readers of NATURE that the skull of Sir Thomas Browne has recently been reinterred at Norwich, but that previously it came to London, where careful measurements, drawings, and tracings of it were made. It is proposed to publish a full account of the skull in Biometrika, but it would add much to the interest of the proposed monograph if it were accompanied by a series of reproductions of the portraits and engravings of one of the most noteworthy of Englishmen who have combined the study of medicine with the pursuit of literature.
