The anterior branch runs forward about parallel with the sulcus rhinalis anterior, from which it is separated by the short gyri of the insula. The latter are covered to a small extent only by the overhanging gjTi (operculum). The posterior branch may run back a distance of only about cm. and end in T-shaped manner, or it may join the sulcus rhinalis posterior. 2. The suprasylvian fissure is deep and very distinct. It extends in an undulating manner from the lateral sm-face of the occipital pole to the lateral side of the sagittal pole. Here it may nrginal pole.

The transverse fissure cuts obhquely into the dorsal border in front of the sagittal pole. It is short and dcrp ami commonly communicates with the suprasylvian and co
