Wilder, Neural Terms. 321 



{d') Among the remainder (say 315), about 25, viz., prae- 

 cribnnn, postcribnun, vadiim, aula, porta, ripa, copida, crista, 

 carina, terjna, ciuibia, folium, pileuni, metaporus and the com- 

 pounds of coelia, may be regarded as unfamiliar. 



(r) But with most of the others the differences from the 

 German equivalents may be indicated by the following exam- 

 ples : — Calcar (for calcar avis), callosum (for corpus callosum), 

 dura, {(or dura ;Hater), postcornu {(or cornu posterius), praecom- 

 missura (for conimissura anterior), gyrus subfrontalis {(ox gyrus 

 frontalis inferior), medipedunculus (for bracJuum pontis), habena 

 (for habenula), trapezium (for corpus trapezoides), radix dorsalis 

 i^or radix posterior), diaplexus {(ox plexus chorioideus ventricidi 

 tertii) ; see Part IV. 



(/) Finally, the German list contains at least forty mono- 

 nyms, while in my own list of about 440, at least 270, more 

 than one half, are polyonyms ; see §242, IX. 



§240. Special. — In the division "Termini Neurologic! 

 Generales", in the sixth line, the term Taenia telanmi of the 

 German list is made equivalent to my Ripa. A similar equiva- 

 lency is indicated in II, B, 15 and 23 ; and in III, 4. In re- 

 spect to these, and also the interpretations implied in II, B, 13; 

 III, 5 ; and VI, 19, I wish to make further observations. I was 

 early ('81, d) impressed with the morphologic significance of 

 these marginal parts or "shore-lines" of the encephalic cavities, 

 but now that the foregoing list is printed I am disposed to think 

 that in my recent revision sufficient attention was not paid to 

 the diagrams and suggestions of Prof. His ('95, 165-168). If 

 his views prove to be correct I shall be pleased, since upon 

 some other points I have found myself unable to agree with 

 him. Upon these and upon any other features of the Table 

 and of the entire paper I desire criticism and suggestions from 

 all who may interested. 



II, 17, Fissura Sylvii. — In advocating the retention of this, 

 while objecting to eponyms in general since 1880, I am cer- 

 tainly open to the charge of inconsistency. The following 

 points should be borne in mind : — (i) Little personality or na- 

 tionality attaches to this name. (2) There are exceptions to
