(After Henle.) follow far up the spinal cord atrophied nerve-tracts which had been arrested in development through intra-uterine amputation of an arm; at another time opportunity was offered to study the nervous system of a child which, soon after birth, suffered an extended softening of the cortex of the parietal lobes. In the spinal cord the crossed pyramidal tracts were com- pletely lacking. The knowledge of the course of nerve-tracts has made notable progress.
