These illustrations, taken with & low power, show that the posterior horns are also affected. A Fig. 20. Anterior and posterior horns from the lumbar region of monkey No. 4; well-marked changes. The dark areas in the left anterior horn are mainly haemorrhages. To the right above, a pial septum infiltrated. At the right border, the fold of the pia lying in the anterior longitudinal fissure, much infiltrated. Below, veins with marked infiltration, some of them passing to the posterior horn. higher magnification is necessary in order to analyse the nature of the lesions. Pia.—In the lower part of the cord the pia is much affected. I found that involvement of the pia was most marked in the lower lumbar region, and became less in an upward and downward
