normal when its ipsilateral striate area was destroyed, and {d) no 

 cells in the midbrain, notably in the superior eolliculus, degenerated 

 after the destruction of the striate area. All this implies the absence 

 of any other bypaths which might originate from the external genicu- 

 late body, except the visual radiation which is ipsilateral or uncrossed, 

 and terminates in the striate area ; also there are no intercalated nerve 

 cells in the external geniculate body — all cells of that body irrespec- 

 tive of size and location send their fibers to the striate area. The 

 midbrain does not send fibers to the occipital lobe. (Compare 

 Chapter XVI.)
