    c. The margin of the posterior Crura of the Fornix. d. The Tenia Semicircularis 3, or Tenia Striata. It will be observed to be covered anteriorly by a layer of a transparent cineritious coloured substance, viz. lame cornce. e. The Anterior Sinus 4 of the lateral Ventricle, being formed by the termination forwards of the Corpus Striatum. Upon completing the section backwards we find these parts. f. The Posterior Sinus 5 of the lateral Ventricle c, which is a triangular cavity, stretching in a curved direction into the pos¬ terior lobe of the Cerebrum. This part of the Ventricle varies much in different bodies, and even sometimes the right and left sides of the same subject differ in figure and direction. 3 Tenia semicircularis, limbus posterior corporis striati Willisii.—Geminum cen¬ trum semicirculare Vieussenii.—Frenula nova of Tarin, and (in hisHistoria Cavitatum Cerebri) “ Frenula nova membranse cornea; oculi ad instar, pellucida, a parte ante- ££ riori thalamorum opticorum, juxta predictum angulum, ad posteriora, infra tha- “ lamos opticos, usque ad partem anteriorem rim® sinuum anteriorum Ventriculorum ££ Cerebri, sese extendentia.” Tab. 1 .fig. 1.

Speaking of this Haller says, ££ Quod ego incerta longitudine breve, et iterum ad “ duas uncias longum reperi, tubere repletum, quod ita videtur a pede hippocampi “ oriri, ut tamen fossa qusedam ab eo pede separatur. Solet autem hoc tuber ovale esse, “ utcunque tamen unica fine introrsum flecti.”—Fascic. vii. tab. ii.—££ La division ££ en forme d’ancre de la par tic posterieure du ventricule.” (Lieutaud.)—This, the ancliyroide of Morand, is not the posterior sinus: ££ II occupe une petit espace entre ££ l’enfoncement digital et le bord convexe de Thippocampus.” (M. Morand.) 6 “ The latei’al or superior Ventricle.” c£ Ventriculi tricornes.” ££ Ventriculi ££ Anteriores.” The lateral or great Ventricle by Steno, because indeed the third and fourth are mere chinks compared with the extent of these.
