One of the pyramids presented evidenceof partial degeneration, while the other was intact. Many dilatedand thrombotic blood-vessels were seen in the space between andin front of the pyramids, and in the same area the pia surround-ing the pyramids was thickened and in some places the outerlayer of the pia was continuous with the thickened outer layer of.

The same condition ofblood-vessels, of pyramidal fibers, of the walls of the fourth ven-tricle and of the meninges was found at higher levels. The aqueduct of Sylvius was dilated and its walls were cov-ered with gliomatous tissue irregularly distributed, thicker insome places than in others ; the thickest mass was found in itsposterior portion.
