The space between the two layers of thepia mater, between the arachnoid and the pia mater layer proper,is called the subarachnoid space. It contains the cerebro-spinal fluidand supports the blood-vessels that supply the brain. These vesselsramify in the subarachnoid space, between the two layers of the piamater, between the arachnoid la^^r and the pia mater proper. The subarachnoid space is not a free space, but is broken upinto a number of cellular spaces by a system of trabecuhp that extendbetween the two layers. All these spaces communicate freely withone another aud ?uith the ventricular system through several well-defined openings in the tela choroidea. Three of these openings arefound in the membranous roof of the fourth ventricle: one, theforamen of Majendi. in the middle line near the lower angle, and twoothers, one in each lateral re
