 and entolambdoidal, fig. 99, is', supersylvian, fig. 101, s, and 

 lateral or medilateral, ib. 10. In Trac/ulus, fig. 101, this is slightly 

 indicated: in Hyrax, fig. 96, 10, it is longitudinal but short. 

 Ilijrax also shows a frontal fissure, ib. n, and the postsylvian 

 fissure, ib. 9. But the chief difference is seen in the course of the 

 fissure is, which, impressing the inner and posterior side of the 

 hemisphere at fig. 99, is', converges toward its fellow in Trayulus, 

 but diverges as it advances, in Hyrax, and extends beyond the 

 frontal fissure, u, simulatino; the longitudinal one in the same

part of the brain in the Agouti, Sloth, and Aye-aye. Its fore-part 

 runs into the superfrontal fold, n, or divides it from the sub- 

 frontal, n"' '. AVe may trace the homologue of 13, interrupted by 

 secondary fissures, marking off a less elongated mesial tract of the 

 brain, in the Horse, fig. 97, and Rhinoceros, fig. 98. The primary

fissures, in Hi/rax, define the following folds: viz., sylvian, figs.

 blending with the medilateral or medial, /, the entolambdoidal, 

 fig. 99, p f , rising to the upper surface, confluent with the tract 

 representing the superfrontal, n* ; in like manner the sylvian, 

 fig. 96, e 1 ', blends with the subfrontal tract, ib. n'". On the inner 

 surface of the hemisphere, the hippocampal fold, fig. 99, , the cal- 

 losal, k, and entolambdoidal, p' } are defined ; with an indication of 

 a falcial fold, 0". The ectorhinal fissure at the base of the brain 

 bounds the outer side of the rhinencephalic part, and divides it 

 from the more exterior part of the ( natiform protuberance.' 



In the larger Perissodactyles, the expansion of the hinder part 

 of the hemispheres is attended with a greater recession of the 

 supersylvian fissures, fig. 97, Horse, and fig. 98, Rhinoceros, 8, 

 outward and backward ; they also become deeper, more continuous, 

 and more wavy : the lateral or medilateral fissure, 10, is now deve- 

 loped to a similar extent, running parallel with is and 8, and with 

 more depth in Rhinoceros, fig. 98, than in Equus, fig. 97. Both
