A treatise on zoology . w outgrowths becomevery distinctly paired cerebral hemispheres passing far in front ofthe lamina terminalis. The corpus striatum is a thickening ontheir outer ventral wall.

Tlie loof of the prosencephala becomesthe palliiuu which acqnires snch an enormous development in thecerebral hemispheres of the highest ^^ertel)rates. From the olfactorylolies issue the nerves to the olfactory epithelium. The greatmodifications in the shape and relative size of the ditlerent paits ofthe l)rain in the Claniata are, of course, the outward manifestationsof the ditterentiation and orderly arrangement of the ganglion cellsand nerve-fibres into an elaborate system of tracts and nuclei,which cannot be described in this volume.
