    groove of the skull or the cerebellum, even without attaining great develop- ment, may cause multiple cranial nerve paralyses. The abducens emerges medially from the transverse furrow between the pons and the medulla, while the facial and acoustic (YII and VIII) nerves appear at the side of the medulla oblongata.

The basal surface of the cerebrum in its posterior division is covered by the cerebellum. while the spinal accessory and hypoglossal nerves arise from the lateral parts of the lowest portion of the medulla oblongata, the former, indeed, from the uppermost part of the cervical cord. The individual parts of the cere- brum and the cerebellum at the base of the brain have been discussed in preceding sections.
