Fig. Operation. After Hartlej loo. 6. Recognition and extirpation of the ganglion. ToKrause belongs the credil of perfecting the technique ofthis step of the operation and of firsl removing the gang-lion by this route. As soon as the brain bas been lifted from the middlefossa and the hemorrhage checked, the second and thirddivisions can be readily recognized by the folds producedli\ elevation of the dura. The ganglion lies al the Junetion of the axes of the second and third divisions. Thetwo branches are uncovered, the dissection being carriedupward until the ganglion which rests between two layersof the dura is completely exposed. The ganglion i- thenseized with a pair of artery forceps, the second and thirddivisions are divided close to the base of the skull, andthe ganglion removed by twisting the forceps. Difficulties encountered in the course of the discussing in detail the different steps, as above oullined, the firsl thai
