FIG. 408. A-F (Edinger) are sagittal sections showing structures lying in the median line and also 

 paired structures (e.g., pallium) lying to one side of the median line. The cerebellum is 

 black. It is doubtful whether the membranous roof in A indicated as pallium is strictly 

 homologous with that structure in other forms In B, Pallium indicates prepallial structures.

The exposed gray matter of the olfactory regions is shaded, the darker shade indicating the archi- 

 pallium (preterminal area and hippocampal formation), the lighter shade indicating the 

 rhinencephalon, which consists of the anterior and the posterior (principally pyriform) olfactory
