494 Dr Duckworth, Report on the brain of a 
tracing of the section with corresponding drawings made from 
the control specimens (Figs. 14, 15, 16, 17).

Figs. 14, 15, 16, 17 ( x 2). Sections through the hippocampus major, fimbria, and 
gyrus dentatus. Fig. 14. The microcephalic brain. Fig. 15. From a case of 
epilepsy. Figs. 16 and 17. From normal brains used as “controls.” 
5. First temporal gyrus of the left cerebral hemisphere. 
In these sections, cortex and white matter are clearly distinct. 
The characteristic feature is a broad band of tangentially-directed 
fibres situated in the grey matter. This band represents the 
line of Baillarger. Sections stained by Weigert’s method reveal 
numerous fine medullated fibres quite as distinctly as do the 
control specimens from a normal brain. But in the cortex of 
the microcephalic individual the matrix is studded with in- 
numerable granules and droplets. Otherwise no striking aberra- 
tion was detected. 
6. The cerebellum. 
The several zones are distinct. Purkinje’s cells are not 
abnormal in appearance. The amyloid droplets occur rather 
plentifully among the medullated fibres running in the axes of
