Abstract
The varying states of 15 characters of the central neural organization are tabulated as they occur in each of 147 mammalian species. For each character and species, scores are entered designating the primitive or derived state of the character as it is observed in that species. This tabulation provides data in numerically ordered form for multiple analyses of possible phylogenetic relationships which take into account variations in several different characters simultaneously.Keywords
