    availed liimself of multitudinous contributions to medical encyclopsedias, dictionaries, and journals, published at home and abroad; and, for the The Committee considered, that the experiments, performed in their presence, satis- factorily demonstrated—that exposure of the dura mater and of the medulla pei-mitted sensibility and motion to persist in the posterior train;—that such sensibility still persisted after the section of the posterior cords—called the sensitive cords of the me- dulla ; and that, consequently, these cords are not indispensable for the transmission of sensory impressions ;—that far from abolishing sensibility, the section of the sup- posed sensitive cords was accompanied by hypersesthesia of the lower limbs ; that after such section, the caudal segment of the medulla was more sensible than the cephalic segment, and that the vesicular matter of the cord was of itself insensible. Other experiments showed, that the separate and comjilete section of the posterior cords neither destroyed sensibility nor motion; but that both were destroyed when the vesicular matter was cut across ; that the integrity of the antero-lateral cords did not prevent the loss of movement, nor did that of the posterior cords prevent the loss of feeling. A work on the physiology of the spinal marrow, from the j)en of Dr. Brown-Sequard, is announced. It will, doubtless, contain all the facts observed by him, as well as the important dediictions to which his ample knowledge of the whole subject cannot fail to have led him.] Budd, Geo., M. D., F.
