their segments. Synonyms of about twenty of the principal parts 

 are given in 1058, 1059. 



In the following pages ( 1181-1333) the parts of the mammalian 

 brain are enumerated in the alphabetical order of the technical 

 names herein employed. Unless otherwise mentioned, these names 

 are the same as adopted by the senior author (#, 1)\ the ap- 

 parently new terms really differ but little from those in common 

 use ( 1129). 



Following the abbreviation of each name are references to figures 

 and sections in the present work and to the works on Human Anat- 

 omy by Gray and Quain. The principal technical and English 

 vernacular synonyms are then given, with in most cases a brief 

 description or commentary upon the part itself or its designation. 



As has been stated already, our information is far from satisfac- 

 tory, and all parts of the cat' s brain need monographic treatment.
