(Partially schematic.) We will not dwell, however, upon this description, but pro-ceed to examine more thoroughly the manner in which thecortical arteries are divided and distributed to the substanceof the pia mater before they penetrate the cerebral pulp. I should mention that the branches arising from the Sylvi-an artery immediately subdivide into branches of the thirdorder, to the number of two or three for each secondarytrunk. These tertiary branchlets constitute a kind of vascu-lar skeleton, upon which is grafted a system oi arborizations;that is a special and very original system of small vessels,which arise not only from the extremities of
