According to Riidinger, lateral canals branchoff from the intradural sac of the aqueduct, which he thinks serve as drainage-tubes for the perilymph to the subdural lymph-spaces. The aquseductuscochleae, about 10 mm. long, arises from a free opening in the scala tympaniin the neighbourhood of the round window, and ends in a funnel-shapedenlargement at the inferior surface of the petrous portion of the temporalbone, in the region of its posterior edge. It acts as the immediate means ofcommunication between the arachnoid space and the perilymphatic fluidof the labyrinth. Weber-Liel, Schwalbe, and others, have shown experi-mentally that a coloured fluid injected into the subarachnoid space penetratesinto the cochlea and
