Into this cleft dips a portion of the duramater, called the falx cere-bri, from its resembling a apparent design of this membrane is to relieve the oneside from the pressure of the other, when the head is reclin-ing to either side. Upon the superior surface of the cere-brum are seen undulating windings, called its inferior, or lower surface, each hemisphere admitsof a division into three lobes — the anterior, middle, andposterior.

When the upper part of the hemispheres is removedhorizontally with a sharp knife, a centre of white substance isbrought to view. This is surrounded by a border of gray,which follows the depressions of the convolutions, and pre-sents a zigzag outline. The divided surface will be seenstudded with numerous small red points, which are producedby the escape of blood from the division of the minute arte-ries and veins. The gray border is called the cortical, or
