Most of the Plates are altered from others, so asto suit the terms and descriptions of the standard text-books ofthe day. I am indebted to Dr. Lowber for the Delineations. JOHN NEILL. Philada.

There are Thirty-nine pairs of Nerves which arise from the SpinalMarrow and Brain ; nine of these pairs emerge thn ugh fora-mina of the Cranium, and are called Cranial, the remainingthirty escape through the intervertebral foramina of the SpinalCanal, and are called Spinal. CRANIAL NERVES AND THEIR ORIGIN. These are designated numerically with reference to the order inwhich th-y apparently arise from the base of the also receive names from their function and mode ofdistribution. They are as follows : — 1. 01 fa •tori II S. — The Olf-ictory rsps by three roots, from the anterior lobe of the brain, which coab-see in the fissure ofSylvius. 2.
