 source, and along the neurilemmar inter-spaces surrounding 

 their nerve supplies.

 4, from a foetus of six months, a, lamina terminalis or part of the first primary 

 vesicle which adheres to the sella turcica ; A, section of the cerebral peduncle 

 as it passes into the thalamus and corpus striatum ; the arched line which 

 surrounds this bounds the great cerebral fissure ; c, anterior part of the fornix and 

 the septum lucidum ; d, inner part of the arch of the cerebrum, afterwards the 

 hippocampus major and posterior part of the fornix ; e, corpus callosum very short

 to meet the calcarine fissure ; I, olfactory bulb ; F, P, O, T, frontal, parietal, 

 occipital and temporal lobes. 



If all this be true and we see nothing anatomically, 

 histologically, or physiologically, in the organisation and
