Posterior cerebral ganglion or thalamus. S. Tract for sensation. PLATE IX. This Plate has been introduced with the view of assisting the student in his study of the relations of the inferior lon- gitudinal commissure or fornix, which is described as com- mencir.g in the centre of the crus cerebri from the locus nigcr, letter ^, proceeding from thence to the corpus mammillare, B, running forward from thence towards the anterior commis- sure, 3, receiving fibres from the convolutions at the base of the brain, crossing and as it were kneeling upon the anterior commissure and ascending towards the great transverse com- missure, receiving fibres in its course from the under and front part of the anterior lobes, and thus forming the septum lucidum, D : running back from thence, it spreads lateiaiiy, constituting that portion which is called the body of the fornix, E. passing in its course backwards over the thala- ' It is curious that Gall should have delineated these fibres, but without being aware of their true relations, viz. that they connect the anterior columns with the cerebellum.
