17. A Pa.s.sage to India I am not acquainted with the literature on this subject I have, however, had personal experience of another patient-also with a glioma, with increased intracranial pressure and seizures, and on steroids-who, as she was dying, had similar nostalgic visions and reminiscences, in her case of the Midwest.

Brill, A. A. ”The sense of smell in neuroses and psychoses.” Psychoa.n.a.lytical Quarterly (1932) 1: 7-42. Brill's lengthy paper covers much more ground than its t.i.tle would indicate. In particular it contains a detailed consideration of the strength and importance of smell in many animals, in ”savages,” and in children, the amazing powers and potentials of which seem to have been lost in adult man.

19. Murder I am not acquainted with any precisely similar accounts. I have, however, in rare cases of frontal-lobe injury, frontal-lobe tumour, frontal-lobe (anterior cerebral) ”stroke” and (not least) lobotomy, seen the precipitation of obsessional ”reminiscence.” Lobotomies, of course, were designed as a ”cure” for such ”reminiscence”-but, on occasion, caused it to become very much worse.
