For some years I have been occupied with investigations upon the brain structure of different vertebrates. I have paid much attention to the morphology of the forebrain, which seems to me not sufficiently understood by former workers. I have thus made extensive studies on this part of the brain in Myxine and bony fishes. In addition,. I have made studies on Petromyzon, selachians, holocephalians, ganoids, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals, studies which, however, have not yet resuIted in publications, but have nevertheless given many valuable points of view concerning forebrain morphology, some of which are subjects of special investigations at this institute and under my direction.In vertebrates there are two different types of forebrain present, the everted and the inverted. The everted is confined to Polypterus, ganoids, and teleosts, the inverted to all other vertebrates. The essential difference between these two types is, that in the former the dorsal walls of the forebrain are bent outward, while in the latter they are bent inward so as to form the roof of the brain. In the everted forebrain the roof is made up by the greatly expanded tela.
