The Brain, Cranial Nerves, and anterior part of the Spinal Cord 

 of the Frog dissected from the dorsal surface. Cb, cerebral 

 hemispheres ; Thai, Thalamencephalon ; in the middle of 

 it is seen the hole by which the stalk of the pineal body 

 communicated with the cavity of the third ventricle ; O L, 

 corpora bigemina (mid-brain) ; Cer, cerebellum ; >, the 

 bulb or medulla oblongata ; 4V, the fourth ventricle ; 7, 

 the olfactory or first pair of cranial nerves ; //, the optic, 

 second pair of cranial nerves ; Va, the ophthalmic branch of 

 the trigeminal or fifth pair of cranial nerves ; Vb, the 

 maxillary branch, and Vc, the mandibular branch of the 

 trigeminal. The two last branches spring from a large 

 swelling on the main stem of the nerve ; this is the 

 Gasserian ganglion ; VI T, the main branch of the facial 

 or seventh pair of cranial nerves crossing over Col, the 

 columella auris, and just beyond this sending back a branch 

 to connect with the ninth nerve ; rp, the ramus palatinus 

 of the seventh nerve, passing below the eyeball and 

 distributed to the skin on the snout and anterior part 

 of the palate ; I'll I, the auditory or eighth pair of cranial 

 nerves ; /A', the glossopharyngeal or ninth pair of cranial 

 rves ; X, the pneumogastric, vagus, or tenth pair of
