Alienist and neurologist. . m and is analogous to the effects already described by me as follow-ing cerebral commotion on the male sexual glands in dogs, is not the only one thatmay give rise to numerous ovules in synapsis. It is not improbable that a simple arrestof the ovules at a definite phase of their physiologic evolution may be followed bya process of re-integration of the parenchymal elements that were affected by the atrophyand pigmentosis. The metabolic equilibrium of the ovarian follicles becoming re-estab-lished in time, the germinal vesicle recovers its form and size and at the same time theelements composing its contents return to the slato quo ante. The chromatin substancewhich in consequence of a process of autolysis caused by the cerebral trauma werehomogeneously distributed through the atrophic cytoplasm, recover their power of organi-zation to again take the form of chromosomes. The granular appearance of theseovules thus represent a prime phase in the process of differentiation of the chromo-. somes in renewing their natural anatomic and physiologic characters. The chromatingranules of this phase of regeneration of the ovules seem always to be destined forthe re-composition of the chromosomes. I believe, therefore, that the granular stateof the chromatin following the process of reorganization may always be considered asa true synaptic form, no matter what its origin. It IS a singular fact that these transition forms producing the phenomenon ofsynapsis, are more prevalently found in animals under longer observation after the trauma;while in those killed or that died in the first period after the trauma in involutive formspredominate, that is to say, the ovules show atrophy and pigmentosis of the germinalvesicle. Cases occur, however, in which those forms with atrophy and pigmentosisof the germinal vesicle are intermixed with those in synapsis. At any rate, whateverinterpretation may be given to the latter forms the fact remains that they only r
