FIG. 71. Lepus cuniculus. Two dissections of the brain, from 

 above (nat. size). 



In A the left cerebral hemisphere is dissected down to the level of the 

 corpu; callosum : on the right side the lateral ventricle is exposed. In 

 B the cerebral hemispheres are dissected down to a little below the level 

 of the anterior genu of the corpus callosum : only the frontal lobe of 

 the left hemisphere i; retained, of the right a portion of the temporal 

 lobe also is left : the velum interpositum and pineal body are removed, 

 as well as the greater part of the body of the fornix, and the whole of 

 its left posterior pillar: the cerebellum is removed with the exception of 

 a part of its right lateral lobe.
