Quain's elements of anatomy . t the two ends of the limbic lobe of Broca, which areseparated by the deep part of the Sylvian fissure, are indirectly united -ndth oneanother by the roots of the olfactory tract, so that the olfactory lobe, of whichthis fonns a part, is in iutimate connection with the limbic lobe. This connec-tion is much more conspicuous iu animals. EELATION OP THE CEEEBRAL FISStTRES AND CONVOLUTIONS TO THECRANIAL SUTURES. This relation was first determined exactly by Broca, and subsequentlyhas been more extensively mapped out by Turner and Hefftler. Brocainserted pins through the cranium at particular points in the cranialsutures, and noted the situation of the chief fissures with reference tothe parts of the cerebral surface pierced by the pins. Turners methodconsisted in carefully removing successive portions or regions of thecranial wall, and delineating upon the removed j)arts the fissures whichwere exposed by their removal. The most important facts which have been determined by these Fig. Fig. 299.—Outline sketch of the skull, with the position of some of thePRINCIPAL CEREBRAL SULCI MARKED UPON IT (from a drawing by G.

From this pointthe anterior limb passes up for a short distance nearly parallel with andclose to the coronal suture, whilst the posterior limb runs at first alongthe line of the squamous suture, but afterwards, as this arches down-
