Wilder, Neural Terms. 301 



Part VII. List of the Neural Terms, about Five Himdred and 

 Forty in Number, Adopted by the Anatomische Gesell- 

 scJiaft in i8g^, together ivith Those noiv 

 Preferred by the Writer. 



§234. The special names are arranged in seven groups, corre- 

 sponding with the six definitive encephahc segments (see Table VII) 

 and the myelon (spinal cord). In accordance with the general rule the 

 series begins with the first (most cephalic or " anterior") segment, and 

 ends with the myelon. 



§235. First Column. — These names are as in the German list 

 published by Prof. His ('95, a, 80-87), excepting as follows : — {a) Some 

 typographic errors may have escaped detection, {b) It was found im- 

 practicable to reproduce the original " middle heads " in their various 

 typographic forms ; so far as possible, however, the subordination of 

 less to more comprehensive terms is indicated by " indents." (c) In 

 addition to words, mostly genitives of proper names, bracketed in the 

 original, there are here introduced in brackets some entire terms to 

 facilitate the recognition of certain parts apparently not specified in 

 the German list. 



§236. Second Column. — These are the Latin terms now preferred 

 by me. In some cases I have been in doubt as to the identity of parts 

 indicated in the German list ; in others as to the desirability of any 

 designation at all. The capitahzed names are those respecting the ex- 

 cellence of which, both as designations and as terms, I feel most fully 

 assured. 



§237. Third Column. — This contains the English forms, or An- 

 glo-paronyms, of the Latin terms preferred by me. Often they are 

 identical therewith, and in all cases the differences are so slight as not 

 to hinder their recognition; §44-48. 



§238. Last Column. — The signs refer to the adoptions of the Latin 

 terms in the middle column, {a) The word general signifies that the 

 term is in common use. (b) The capitals N., G., A., S., signify the 

 formal adoption of the terms by the American Neurological Associa- 

 tion (1896; §80); the Anatomische Gesellschaft (1895; §137); the 

 Association of American Anatomists (1889; §81); and the American 

 Association for the Advancement of Science (1892; §84). {c) The 

 dates, '8o-'96, are those of my own adoption of the terms in the mid- 

 dle column; see Part II and the Bibliography.
