The crura give off hbers to form the alveus, a layer of white matter which covers the ventricular face ot the hippocampi, and between them are transverse fibers which constitute the hippocampal commissure (Commissura hippocampi). The septum pellucidum is the median partition between the two lateral ven- tricles. Its convex dorsal border blends with the corpus callosum and its concave ventral border joins the fornix. Its anterior part is received into the genu of the corpus callosum. Traced backward, it diminishes in height and the two edges meet at an acute angle at the splenium. „tl,o.'^^^v,^''P*™'°?"?^*^j°M^'^°^y*'^^ (Laminte septi pellucidi) which are in contact with each other, i hey consist of medullated nerve-fibers and gray matter. The latter exists in cohsid^able amount in the thicker part of the septum adjacent to the columns of the fornix. Many of the hbers oi the septum pass up through the corpus callosum to the gyrus fornicatus. Othtrs are connected with the subcaUosal gyrus and the parolfactory area.
