Posteriorly, as is well seen in the figure, a small, longish convolution of the occipital lobe joins the gyrus hippocampi; it is called the gyrus lingualis.

. The anatomy of the central nervous system of man and of vertebrates in general. Neuroanatomy; Central Nervous System. THE FORM-RELATIONS OF THE HUMAN BRAIN. 199 name of gyrus hippocampi is given to the part lying posterior and ventral. Posteriorly, as is well seen in the figure, a small, longish convolution of the occipital lobe joins the gyrus hippocampi; it is called the gyrus lingualis. As has previously been shown, the fornix forms the edge of the hemi- sphere. The first portion of the wall of the brain succeeding this is the above-mentioned gyrus hippocampi, which is, therefore, adjacent to the fornix. Externally to it lies the cavity of the ventricle: the inferior horn. The ventricle is separated at this place from the cranial cavity by a thin, vascular membrane only,—the continuation of the plexus chorioideus, —which is attached to the fornix throughout its entire extent. The gyrus hippocampi is covered by cortical matter, but the cortex ceases on the side toward the inferior horn; and, close to the ventricle, the white medullary substance, no longer covered by gray matter as on the entire.
