" Rima ad infundibuli, s. vulva" Various authors, according to Dunglison, A, 906. 



Mesal portion of the foramen of Monro Balfour, A, II, 257. 



Mesal portion of the " ventriculus commuuis " Stieda, (i, 180. 



Mesal portion of the " common ventricular cavity" Spitzka, O, 31. 



The aula is the most cephalic part of what is commonly known as the third ventricle. 

 Its best denned portion lies between the two portae, and is bounded cephalad by the fornix 

 and caudad by the medicommissura. Ventrad it reaches the chiasma so as to include the 

 Recessus optici ; dorsad it is bounded by the triangular area of the fornix, called delta. 

 The form of the cavity is therefore peculiar and irregular. 



The Name. The origin of the name and the reasons for its use are briefly stated in 

 1065. Much remains to be done, especially in Comparative Anatomy and Embryology, 

 before the limits of this cavity can be well defined. 



1186. Auliplexus, apt. Fig. 113; 1066. 



The aulic portion of the " plexus choroideus ventriculi tertii " or diaplexus. 



This portion of the plexus is so slight that it would hardly need a separate designation 

 but for the possibility that in the cat, as in Menobranchus, the larger diaplexus may be 

 only an extension of the more primitive auliplexus. 



1187. Area cruralis (as.), Ar. cr. Fig. 116, 118 ; PI. II, Fig. 3; PI. III. Fig. 11. 



A convenient name for the ill-defined and non-homogeneous area of the basis eneephaii 

 bounded by lines projected laterad from the pons and chiasma. See Area intercruralis 

 ( 1189) 



1188. Area elliptica, Ar. el Fig. 116 ; PI. II, Fig. 3 ; 1140. 



According to the Am. Jour, of Neurology, etc. (I, 102), this is the surface of the olivn, 

 notwithstanding the funiculi of the N. hypoglossus emerge laterad of it instead of mesad 

 as in man. 



1189. Area intercruralis (az), Ar. icr.Fig. 116, 118 ; PI. II, Fig. 3 ; PI. Ill, Fig. 

 11 ; 1133. 



8yn. Interpeduncular space ; Area intercruralis (manuscript) Spitzka, 7, 165. 



If the diverging fibrous tracts sometimes called pedunculi cerebri are to be called crura, 

 then the space bounded by them and by the pons and chiasma, should be intercrural 

 rather than inter peduncular. 



1190. Area ovalis, Ar. ov.Fig. 116 ; PI. II, Fig. 3 ; 1140. 



The surface of an elevation of the ventro-lateral aspect of the metencephalon, laterad 

 of the Area elliptica. 



According to the Am. Jour, of Neurology, etc. (I, 102), this corresponds with the Tuber- 

 cle of Rolando, " tubercolo cinereo." 



% 1191. Area postpontilis (az.), Ar. ppn.F\g. 116 ; PI. II, Fig. 3 ; 1133. 



The ventral aspect of the metencephalon. It includes the Area elliptica, the Ar. ovalis, 

 the pyramis and trapezium, and the ectal origins of several nerves. 



1192. Area praechiasmatica (az.), Ar. prch. Fig. 116 ; PI. II, Fig. 3. 



The ventral aspect of the basis eneephaii cephalad of the chiasma. 



1193. Ar. septalis, Ar. spt. F\g. 117; PI. II, Fig. 4; PI. IV, Fig. 16. 



The mesal surface of either half of the Septum lucidum ; see pseudocoslia, 1297. 



Septal area Flower, 13, 634. The name is ascribed to Huxley. 



1194. Calcar (avis\ dc. Gray, A, 625 ; Quain, A, II, 542. 



This is the brief synonym of hippocampus minor, erf/at and unciform eminence. It des- 

 ignates a projection into the postcormi of man and monkeys, and has not been observed in 

 the cat, where the postcornu is not normally developed.
