The cavity within each of the cerebral lobes—answering to the lateral ventricles of the human brain*—is comparatively large, and projecting from the anteriorand external part of the floor of each of them, there isan eminence generally admitted to correspond to the Corpus Striatum in the brain of Man and Mammalsgenerally. The inner walls of ^le lateral ventricles arethin, and almost in contact with one another. They con-stitute the inner boundaries of the cerebral lobes. Fig.
