In the Gymnophiona the olfactory lobes and hemispheres are relatively larger than in other Amphibians, and the hemispheres overlap the posterior parts of the brain to a larger extent. The 1 A rounded vascular body arising from the roof of the third ventricle and representing a paraphysis (p. 200) has been mistaken for the epiphysis (Fig. 164, A, ch. plx'). 2 A parietal foramen was, however, present in the Palaeozoic Stegocephali and other extinct Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustratio
