These sensory ganglia are not, as was formerly supposed, mere appendages to the cere- brum ; they are distinct cerUres of action and feeling, analogous to the entire ' brain' of insects and mol- lusks, and form, therefore, in regard to their func- tions, the subject of a distinct investigation, apart from the spinal cord on the one side, and the cere- bral hemispheres on the other. It is in the fuller investigation of this second and intermediate centre of innervation, that Dr. Carpenter has added so materially to the elucidation of the whole subject of cerebral physiology.
