This paper is in four parts: — A. Introduction. B. The macroscopic vo- 

 cabulary of the brain. C. List of points to be elucidated. D. Expla- 

 nation of the plates. 



A. INTRODUCTION. 



The present paper is the first of a series of contributions to the knowl- 

 edge of the brain of the domestic cat. A second — A Description of the 

 Cerebral Fissures, together loith their Synonymy — has been nearly ready for 

 a year, and a brief preliminary abstract of it has been published (Wilder 8), * 

 but it will more properly follow the present general account of the entire 

 brain. 



The title of the series is made comprehensive in order that the subject 

 may be discussed from any point of view. I hope, therefore, that others 



*This nuniber refers to the list at the end of this paper. In that list, the 

 names of the authors are placed in alphabetical order. The titles oi separate works 

 are designated by letters, and their order has no significance. The titles oi papers 

 Are numbered. In the case of papers published between 1800 and 1873, the num- 

 bers correspond to those in the chronological " Catalogue of Scientific Papers," 

 publislied by the Royal Society of London. In other cases the numbers are 

 only provisional, and are printed in italics. 



The references are made as follows : the name of the author is given first, un- 

 less the author has been indicated already ; then follows the letter or the num- 

 ber by which the title of the work or paper is designated upon the list; if a 

 Roman numeral is given it denotes the number of the volume; and the last 

 number is that of the page. The system of references to a List was followed 

 by me in 1872, in the paper entitled Intermembral Homologies (10), and has been 

 since adopted by others.
