Handbook of anatomy; being a complete compend of anatomy, including the anatomy of the viscera a chapter on dental anatomy, numerous tables, and incorporating the newer nomenclature adopted by the German anatomical Society, generally designated the Basle nomenclature or BNA . The hemispheres, viewed on a level with the corpus eallo-sum. present a large white mass—the centrum ovale majus—inthe center of which is the connecting band, the corpus eallosum. Corpus Calhmim.—This connecting band forms the roofof the lateral ventricles. It is about four inches in length andvaries from an inch and a halt to two inches in width, present-ing in front a bend, or genu (genu corporis caUosi). belowwhich it terminates in the tuber einereum through the laminacinerea. Posteriorly it forms a thick, rounded fold—the splenium(spleniutn corporis caUosi). or pad—which is continuous withthe fornix. The peduncles of the corpus eallosum (gyrus subcallosus orpeduncular corporis caUosi) are two reflected bundles of whitematter given off near the anterior termination of the corpus, THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. 307 and each passing backward across the anterior perforatedspace of its own side to the fissure of Sylvius.
