FUNCTIONS -OF THE CEREBELLUM. 375 



marked f? the patient was struck with apoplexy (Andral, 

 op. tit., p. 475). In the case quoted -from Bayle, marked J, 

 the patient suddenly lost consciousness, had convulsive move- 

 ments on the third day, and died in coma, on the fifth day 

 (Andral, op. cit., p. 476). In the case quoted from Guiot, 

 marked , there was " no lesion except effusion of blood in 

 the median lobe of the cerebellum. The individual who was 

 the subject of this observation had had an attack of apo- 

 plexy. Before his attack, he had for some tune a tottering 

 gait (demarche chancelante), and, after the attack, remained 

 hemiplegic on the right side " (Andral, op. tit., p. 476). 



Let us now carefully review these ninety-three cases of 

 Andral, which have been hold in terror em over those who 

 have ventured to argue, from experiments on animals, that 

 the cerebellum is the coordinator of the muscular movements, 

 and see how many may properly be thrown out of the ques- 

 tion ! 



"We can discard the first six cases, observed by Andral, in 

 which there was hemiplegia, speedy death, and in three of 

 which, there was cerebral haemorrhage ; for we could hardly 

 observe want of coordination in hemiplegics or in cases 

 complicated with cerebral disease. "We can discard the six 

 cases, quoted from Serres, in which there was violent apo- 

 plexy, as well as the case quoted from Dance, with apoplexy 

 and the case quoted from Bayle, with coma and convulsions. 

 It is evident that these cases are useless in noting the pres- 

 ence or absence of coordinating power. "We can discard two 

 cases (Serres) with hemiplegia ; one (Cazes) with coma ; one, 

 (Morgagni) found dead ; one (Sedillot) died in fifteen min- 

 utes ; one (Cafford) died suddenly ; one (Michelet) apoplexy 

 two years before death, and an old clot in the right lobe 

 of the cerebellum. This last case is in accord with experi- 

 ments on animals ; for we have seen that the coordinating 

 power may be restored after loss of one-half of the cerebel- 

 lum. "We can discard nine cases quoted from various authors, 

 in which there was cerebral as well as cerebellar haemor-
