The fourth, with preservation of the spinal cord, medulla oblongata, and pons, whilst the cerebrum and cerebellum are absent. The fifth, with preservation of the spinal cord, medulla oblongata, pons, and cerebellum, whilst the cerebrum alone is wantino;. The sixth, with preservation of an imperfect brain, whilst the spinal cord is wanting. 6. An uncommon form of congenital imperfection is seen in the cyclocephalous condition, in which there is an approximation or fusion of two eyes in a common orbit. The abnormality is of various degrees, according as the nose and mouth are implicated. It evidently is the result of an arrest of development of the central and anterior parts of the head. Leaving now, for the present, the abnormalities due to arrest of development, we proceed to those classes of conditions which depend on injuries received or diseases occurring during foetal life. These differ from the preceding in that they are not incompatible with persistence of hfe. 7. Of these, the most important are those abnor- malities which consist in the incomplete, insufficient, or irregular formation of some of the parts of the ence- phalon. This want of completeness may occur in the membranes, in various portions of the brain proper, the cerebellum, the pons, and the cerebral nerves. Whenever there is deficiency of structure in the encephalon, there will always be foiuul an increase of](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21179207_0029.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
