most rules (§260). (3) Even if my basisylvian, presylvian 

 and subsylvian be rejected as titles of human fissures, there are 

 several fissures in animal brains that have for many years been 

 known by "sylvian" compounds. (4) The substitute proposed 

 by the German committee, cerebri lateralis, is rather general than 

 specific in suggestion. (5) If they are right in regarding the 

 fissure as collocated with the striatum (His, '95, 170), then, 

 after the fashion of Jdppocampal, calcarine and collateral, the 

 more appropriate term would be Fissiira striatalis. 



II, 74, 75, Gyrus siibcollateralis and G. siibcalcarimis. — So 

 slight is the resemblance of these cortical strips to the forms in- 

 dicated in the commonly accepted simile names, fiisifonnis and 

 lingiialis, that I have never been able to remember their relative 

 locations. It seems probable that the fissural names calcarina 

 and collateralis are to persist. If so, is it not both logical and 

 convenient to designate the gyres just ventrad of them by loca- 

 tives indicating their positions, viz., G. siibcalcarimis and G. 

 subcollateralis ? 



II, 85, Sulcus interparietalis. — Prof. Sir William Turner or- 

 iginally named the fissure intraparietalis, and the same form is 

 employed in his last fissure paper {Jour. Anat. and Phys., Oct., 

 1890). To more essential grounds for doubting the advisability 

 of applying any name to this "fissure complex," must be added 

 the carelessness of printers and proof-readers, and even the ap- 

 parent ignorance of some writers as to the distinction between 

 inter and int7n. 



II, B, 2, and III, B, 10, Recessns aiilae. — I may err in sup- 

 posing the recessus tnangularis of the German list to be identi- 

 cal with the recessiis aiilae described by me in 1881 ('81, d). 



II, B, 4, Paj-acoelia. — Even were there not adequate rea- 

 sons for replacing ventriciihis in all neural names by coelia, para- 

 coelia is simply the Greek equivalent of ventricuhis lateralis, and 

 as such has equal privileges with the German heteronym 

 '^ Seitenhohle'' which has been used heretofore and will hardly 

 disappear at once. 



II, B, 18, Eminentia occipitalis. — The name preferred by 

 the German committee, Bulbus comu posterius, is bracketed in
