The migration of the neuroblasts of the epithe-lial layer is probably completed before birth, at which timebut few remain in the molecular layer to form the stellatecells of the adult. The origin of the dentate and other nu-clei of the cerebellum is at present unknown, but it seemsprobable that they arise from cells of the mantle nerve-fibers which form the medullary substance of.

Those which are not commissural or associa-tive in function converge to the line of junction of thecerebellum with the pons, and there pass into the mar-ginal velum of the pons, myelencephalon, or isthmus asthe case may be. The dorsal surface of the isthmus is at first barely dis-tinguishable from the cerebellum, but as development pro-ceeds its roof-plate undergoes changes similar to thoseoccurring in the
