DESCRIPTION OF FIGURES. 



All the figures with exception of i, 2, 4, and 41 were outlined by the aid 

 of the Abbe camera liicida. Figs. I and 2 were drawn from enlarged photo- 

 graphs, while 4 and 41 were reconstructed from series of sagittal sections. In 

 the description of each figure the approximate degree of magnification is given. 

 In all frontal sections and transections the right side of the figure corresponds 

 with the right of the observer. Myelinic fiber tracts are given in blue, amyel- 

 inic in black. An especial effort has been made to indicate clearly the contin- 

 uity of the endyma and the concomitant circumscription of the cavities in 

 accordance with the precept and example of Prof. Wilder ; see, in particular, 

 his note on the " Morphological Importance of the Membranous or other thin 

 Portions of the encephalic Cavities," Jour, of Comp. Neurology, Vol. I., pp. 

 201-203, 1891.
