Nc. nucleus caudatus ; Gp', Gp", globus pallidus, seen here in two segments, and

 space that in its upper part belongs to the lateral ventricle, in its lower was 

 filled by the fold of subarachnoid tissue and pia mater the side fringe of which, 

 covered with epithelium, forms the choroid plexus ; this fold was detached in 

 the making of the section and was removed. In. the insula ; F. Frontal lobe ;
