To the hyperplasia of connective elements,was due the unimpaired symmetry of the cord. Iffurther evidence of it were needed, it may be affordedby the slighter size of the spinal nerves in the rightside. Such atrophy of primitive fibres beneath thedecussation of the pyramids on the side of the cordopposite to that of the atrophied cerebral hemisphere,is particularly noticed by Van der Kolk, who app
