It is well known that the deceptive simplicity and uniformity of the cytoarchitecture of the cerebellar cortex in the adult vertebrate in no way reflect the very complex pattern of histogenesis that eventually contributes to this structural arrangement. The presence of three cortical layers in the adult of every species ranging from the teleost (Schaper, 1894) through mouse and cat (Athias, 1897; Cajal, ’11) to man (Obersteiner, 1883; Smirnow, 1897; Scheinker, ’39; Raaf and Kernohan, ’44) needs no elaboration. It is also known that much of the same type of general pattern prevails in the cytoarchitectonic development of the cerebellar cortex in widely separated species if allowance is made for the increasing complexity of connections in species higher on the evolutionary scale (Herrick, 1891; Jakob, ’28; Kappers et al., ’36; Obersteiner, ’12; Kershman, ’31). Although His and Obersteiner are generally credited (Lahousse, 1888; Schaper, 1894; Athias, 1897) with the description of that portion of the neural tube in continuity with the posterior medullary plate and the lateral recesses of the fourth ventricle as the origin of the cerebellar cellular elements, much of the knowiedge concerning the dual germinative layers of the cerebellum is owed to the work of Lahousse (1888), Athias (1897), Schaper (1894), Cajal (’11) and others. This introduction does not purport to give an historical survey of the subject but does aim to outline briefly those long-standing controversies to which the use of a new investigative tool appears to give satisfactory answers. It is generally agreed that the subependymal cells constitute a first germinative layer (inner germinative layer of His and the “couche-m8re” of Lahousse, 1888). Rapid cell division results in a multi-layered zone outside this layer (“nkvroglie embryonnaire non-differencik” of L a housse, 1888) which in turn by rapid division and outward migration forms a second layer of increased cell-density, the outer mantle layer of His, “couche-mkre externe” of Lahousse (Lahousse, 1888; Schaper, 1894; Athias, 1897), showing germinative activity. This layer, by further division and outward migration towards the surface, constitutes the “cuticule grise kxth-ne” of Lahousse (18SS), the external germinative layer of His, the layer of Obersteiner or the external granular layer in modern terminology. Throughout this period the area enclosed between the subependymal germinative zone and the outer mantle zone increases rapidly, so that there is a decrease in cell density, giving rise to the intermediate reticulate zone of Lahousse. The appearance of the external granular layer as a distinct zone is further enhanced by the appearance of cells with pear-shaped contours and large nuclei and others with large, dark-staining nuclei on the inner margins of this zone (Schaper, 1894; Athias, 1897; Popoff, 1895, 1896; Cajal, ’11). As the cerebellar cortex further grows these cells which can now be recognized as Purkinje cells and Golgi type I1 cells respectively, are noticed to be arranged in several layers (Schaper, 1894; Athias, 1897) with the emergence of a clear zone between the outer margin of this layer and the inner margin of the external granular layer. This clear zone constitutes the beginning of the molecular layer which, by the eventual disappearance of the external granular layer and the single-layered arrangement of Pur-
