FUNCTIONS OF THE CEKEBELLTJM. 373 



The bare statement, such as is generally made, that An- 

 dral collected ninety-three cases of disease of the cerebellum, 

 only one of which tends to show that this is the organ of 

 muscular coordination, is sufficient to arrest any physiologist 

 in the conclusions that would naturally be drawn from ex- 

 perimental facts ; and nearly all writers have expressed them- 

 selves as uncertain upon the question of the function of the 

 cerebellum. Before we go any farther, we wish to settle, 

 once for all, the physiological bearing of these cases ; and, 

 with this end in view, have carefully studied, analyzed, and 

 tabulated them. Out of the ninety-three cases, fifteen were 

 observed by Andral, and seventy-eight are quoted from 

 various authors. An analysis of these cases, with reference 

 to conditions likely to complicate the effects of the cerebellar 

 disease, etc., is given in the following table :
