e _gyrus_ of the _parietal eminence_. Above and behind the gyrus of the parietal eminence is the _angular gyrus_, which bends round the posterior extremity of the parallel fissure, while arching over the hinder end of the inferior temporo-sphenoidal sulcus is the post-parietal gyrus. Lying in the parietal lobe is the _intra-parietal_ fissure (fig. 9, p^3 and p^4), which separates the gyrus of the parietal eminence from the supra-parietal lobule. The _Central Lobe_ of the hemisphere, more usually called the _insula_ or _island of Reil_, does not come to the surface of the hemisphere, but lies deeply within the Sylvian fissure, the opercula forming the margin of which, conceal it. It consists of four or five short gyri, which radiate from the _locus perforatus anticus_, situated at the inner end of the fissure. This lobe is almost entirely surrounded by a deep sulcus called the limiting sulcus of Reil, which insulates it from the adjacent gyri. It lies opposite the upper part of the ali-sphenoid, where it articulates with the parietal and squamous-temporal. [Illustration: FIG. 10.--Orbital surface of the left frontal lobe and the island of Reil; the tip of the temporo-sphenoidal lobe has been removed to display the latter. 17.

Convolutions on the orbital suface. 1,1,1,1. Under surface of infero-frontal convolution. 4. Under surface of ascending frontal; and 5, of ascending parietal convolutions. C. Central lobe or insula.] In front of the central lobe, on the base of the brain, are the _orbital gyri_, which are separated from one another by the _orbital sulcus_. This is usually H-shaped, and the gyri are therefore anterior, posterior, external and internal. Bisecting the internal orbital gyrus is an antero-posteripr sulcus (_s. rectus_), beneath which lies the olfactory lobe, bulbous in front, for the olfactory nerves to arise from. On the mesial surface of the hemisphere, as seen when the brain is longitudinally bisected and the cerebellum and medulla removed by cutting through the crus cerebri (see fig. 11), the divided corpus callosum is the most central object, while below it are seen the fornix, septum lucidum and third ventricle, the descr
