SECONDARY DEGENERATION. 127 is, they occupy the lateral fasciculi of both sides simulta-neously, instead of one side only, as is always the case in con-secutive sclerosis, when the lesion from which it arises is uni-lateral. I will also add that it is very much less extendedtransversely, and there is reason to believe, therefore, thatbeyond the cerebro-spinal or pyramidal fibres, which are theonly ones affected in consecutive sclerosis, primitive sclero-.
