    siderable balance of evidence in favour of the hypothesis I have advanced. Its simplicity and its general applicability are of themselves recommendations, and I venture to hope that further observation will clear away the few difficulties which remain, and place it, and with it Dr. Carpenter's theory of the function of the corpus striatum, on a firm basis. Some interesting corollaries might be pointed out, and the association of the nerve-nuclei will be found to bear on other cases than those of hemiplegia, but any discussion of these would be premature.
