The peculiar lobe observed on the other side is herewanting. The general course of this fissure is parallel with that of thefissure of Rolando, but just below the margin of the great mesial fissureit turns forward at right angles to itself for a distance of 2 cm., where itends in two very short bifurcations. The first frontal fissure, 8 cm. long, is quite regular, save in the ante-rior part of its course, where it becomes exceedingly tortuous and givesoff innumerable little sulci which ramify in every direction. It is notconfluent with the precentral. The second frontal fissure, 9 cm. long, is extremel
