The rather infrequent fir-tree and bushy cells along the pialborder suggest the incompletely developed cells of an embry-onic age, such as are seen more definitely in the region of thehypophysis. During the last few years not a little has been done to clearaway the uncertainty concerning the origin and structure of theneuroglia. Many points in its origin and development have beendefinitely determined by the Golgi method, but much still remainsto be ascertained concerning its after-life and functions in the ani-mal economy that is at present by no
