The projection of n. medialis dorsalis on the anterior part of the frontal cortex of primates is established, but evidence concerning extent and internal arrangement of this nuclear projection provides an insufficient guide to finer cortical par cellation. In the course of experiments designed primarily to investigate the effects on behavior of partial frontal ab lation, we have analyzed retrograde thalamic degeneration in 40 cerebral hemispheres of Macaca mulatta. Our results, sup plemented by those of other investigators, indicate the to pology of thalamo-cortical correspondence. On the basis of its cellular appearance, 'Walker ('38, '40) divides the nucleus into a lateral paralamellar part, an an teromedial magllOcellular part, and a main parvicellular part. He assigns the projection of the paralamellar'and lateral par vicellular portions to the cortex anterior to the arcuate sul cus; the magnocellular and medial parvicellular parts to the orbital surface. He finds that the par'alamellar division pro jects more posteriorly than the lateral parvicellular part, but he is unable to differentiate between magnocellular and me1 Present address, Research Laboratories, Institute of Living, Hartford, Con necticut.
