The third ventricle,like the fourth, isroofed over by theepithelial lining ofthe central cerebro-spinal cavities.

The epithelinni follows all the inequalitiesof two fringed vascular tracts (choroid plexuses) which project doAvii-vrard from the membrane ; and, therefore, becomes torn away whenthe pia mater is removed. At the white stria on either side it iscontinuous with the epithelium covering the lateral waU.
