§ 1292. Praepedunculus, ;)?-p(Z.— § 1141. Gray, A, 635: Quain, A. II. 576. 



Syn. — Pedunculus cerebelli superior, processus e cerebello ad testim, crus cerebelli 

 superius, testibrachium. 



The prsepedunculi extend from the cerebellum to the base of the postoptici, and fomi 

 the walls of the cephalic and longer part of the epiccelia. 



§ 1293. Prffiperforatus (Locus), ;?rp/.— Fig. 116, 118 ; PI. II, Fig. 3 ; PI. Ill, Fig. 11. 

 Gray, A, 621 ; Quain, A, II, 536. 



Syn. — Locus perforatus anterior s. anticus, anterior perforated space. 



The irregular area just cephalad of the chiasma. In man it is comparatively small, but 

 in the cat it is larger and presents two quite distinct portions, a cephalic which is more 

 or less elevated and often distinctly marked by longitudinal fm-rows and ridges, and a cau- 

 dal which is smaller, depressed, and smooth excepting for the vascular perforations which 

 characterize the entire area. The two divisions are hence named Portio promine»s and 

 Portio depressa. Between the depressed portions is the slight gray elevation of the terma, 

 forming part of the floor of the Recessus opticus. 



§ 1294. Procoelia, pre— Fig. 110-113 ; PI. IV, Fig. 15, 16, 18, 19 ; § 1064. Gray, A, 

 624 ; Quain, A, II, 539. 



Syn. — Ventriculus lateralis, ventriculus tricornis, lativentriculus, first or second ven- 

 tricle. 



The lateral cavity of the prosencephalon, communicating through the porta witli the 

 aula and thus with its platetrope, and with the mesal series of coeliae. Cephalad it opens 

 into the rhinocoelia. 



§ 1295. Proplexus, prpx.—Y\g. 113, 121 ; PI. IV, Fig. 15, 18; §§ 106G, 1149. Gray, 

 A, 627 ; Quain, A, II, 545. 



Syn. — Plexus choroideus ventriculi lateralis. 



The larger part of this plexus of the procoelia is formed by the intrusion of the velum 

 or of vessels thereof between the fimbria and the Sulcus limitans so as to appear, still cov- 

 ered by endyma, in the medicornu. Its length thus coincides with tliat of the rlma. 



A smaller portion of the proplexus projects laterad into the prsecornu. as shown in PI. 

 IV, Fig. 18. 



Respecting the continuity of the endyma upon tbe proplexus, see Todd (A, III, 704) ;

Syn. — Cerebrum, hemisphaerse, forebrain.

Syn. — Ventriculus quintus, ventriculus septi pellucidi, ventriculus Sylvii, incisura 

 septi, sinus septi pellucidi, fifth ventricle. 



In man the mesal surfaces of the hemispheres between the callosum and fornix are 

 separated by an interval, the " fifth ventricle." In the cat the two hemisepta are in con- 

 tact, and the pseudoccelia does not exist. 



§ 1298. Pyramis, py.—Fig. 116 ; PI. II, Fig. 3, 4 ; § 1140. Gray, A, 612 ; Quain, A,
