The approximate relation, therefore, ofthe different cerebral fissures to the different sutures of the skull isall that it is necessary for the neurologist and the surgeon to 59 and 60, taken from Erasers beautiful atlas, will give a trueidea of the relative position of the main fissures and convolutions tothe skull, as the intra-cranial contents usually lie within the intra-cranial cavity. The fissures and convolutions can be readily identi-fied by comjjarison with Fig. 1. Various instruments have been ANATOMY. 79 devised for marking oif the skull, so-called cyrtometers, but anordinary tape line is as good as anything else. The rules followingwill be quite sufficient. Fig. Photograph from Fraser, showing the cerebrum and the cerebellum in the cavity ofthe skull covered by the membranes; also the upper portion of the spinal cord. I. The longitudinal fissure corresponds with the median line ofthe vertex from the glabella, or junction of the nasal and frontalbones, to the inion, or occipital protuberance. II. To find tlie of Rolando: Measure the distance fromthe glabella to the inion, or occipital protuberance. Find 80 INTRODUCTORY. per cent, of this distance, and this will indicate the upper end of thefissure of Rolando, which is generally from to centimetresTo find the course of this fissure, mark off from from the glabella.
