    GYRUS AND SULCUS HIPPOCAMPI spreading itself out further backwards and downwards on the Substantia alba reticulaHs, covers the surface of the Gyms Hippocampi. 3. Gyms Hippocampi. Biu-dach (H). Socampi. Si/n. Subiculum cornu ammonis. Burdacli. Circonvolution a crochet. Vicq d'Azyr. Pli unciforme, ou temporal moyen interne et lobule de Thippo- carape. Gratiolet. Uncinate gyrus. Huxley. This gyrus is situated at the inferior mesial edge of the Temporal Lobe, which girts the Pedunculi cerebH, being- bounded laterally by the anterior portion of the Fissura Ocdpito-temporalis inferior, and mesially by the Fissura Hippocampi, and may be regarded as the common exten- sion of the Gyrus fornicatus, of the Gyrus Gunei, and of the Lingual Lobule. After that the Gyrus Hippocampi has originated beneath the posterior extremity of the Goi'pus callosum out of the three factors just named, it pui'sues its course as far as the tip of the Temporo-sphe- noidal Lobe, where it terminates with a crook-like curve —the Uncus gyri fornicati, or G'yrus uncinatus (u)— ^^-^atas at the beginning of the transverse portion of the Sylvian Fossa behind the Substantia perforata lateralis. 4. Fissura Hippocampi (h). Fissura ' hippocampi, Si/n. Anterior portion of Scissm-e de rpJippocampe. Gratiolet. Dentate sulcus. Huxley. The inner surface of the cerebral ventricles is brought into immediate relation with the peripheral surface of the brain by a large cleft—the Rima transversa cerebri (Burdach)—which consists of a middle and two lateral portions.
