Section 122. The cerebellum (metencephalon) consists of a central

mass, the vermis (v.cbm.), and it also has lateral lobes (l.l.),

prolonged into flocculi (f.cbm.), which lastare -em-bedded in pits, [in]

the periotic bone, and on that account render the extraction of the

brain from the cranium far more difficult than it would otherwise be.

The roof of the hind-brain, before and behind the cerebellum,

consists of extremely thin plates of nervous matter. Its floor is greatly

thickened to form the mass of the medulla, and in front a great

transverse track of fibres is specialized, the pons Varolii (p.V.). Its

cavity is called, the fourth ventricle.
