TABLE I. 



Forty Latin names recommended unanimously by the American Neurolog- 

 ical Association, June 5, 1896. 



§87. Cerebellum might well have been added to the Hst 

 for there is no disagreement as to the appHcation of the word. 

 Cerebrum, unfortunately, is used in at least two senses, (a) as 

 equivalent to the prosencephal, and (b) as including also two or 

 three adjoining segments. 



§88. Of the forty terms in the above list thirty-one are 

 mononyms (§15). The other nine, nearly one-fourth, are dio- 

 nyms (§13)- This fact is to be noted in connection with cer- 

 tain animadversions of the German committee (Part V). 



§89. In Table II are given in parallel columns (i) the 

 Latin (international) names adopted by the American Neuro- 

 logical Association ; (2) their English paronyms ; (3) the regu- 

 lar Latin adjectives; (4) the English forms or paronyms of 

 the Latin adjectives.^ 



1 Had space permitted I should have been glad to amplify this table after 

 the pattern of that upon pp 530 and 531 of W. & G., '89. Forty-tive terms 

 were there given substantialiy as in the following example :
