Thevariations are especially great in the fibres of the pyramidal tract,and it is in these that division has been thought to occur. Those ofthe direct cerebellar tract are uniformly large, while most of thosethat constitute the postero-median column are small. It will facilitate the detailed study of the tracts if we considerfirst those that undergo secondary degeneration for a considerabledistance, as our knowledge regarding these is the most
