    ON A SELDOM-DESCRIBED ARTERY (A. TERMATICA), WITH SUGGESTIONS AS TO THE NAMES OF THE PRINCIPAL ENCEPHALIC ARTERIES. By BURT G. WILDER, M.D. In all the human brains examined in the anatomical laboratory of Cornell University, in which the arteries were preserved and injected, there has been found the small artery which is shown in the preparation exhibited, and represented in my paper on Encephalic Nomenclature {N. Y. Med. Jour., March 21, 1885, pp. 325, 327, figs, i, 3). In that paper it was named Arteria tennatica (termatic artery), from its location just cephalad of the terma {lamina terminalis or /. cinerea), which it also supplies with small branches. Its origin will be described presently. It usually divides soon into a right and left portion, which supply re- spectively the cinerea forming the surface of the triangular area ventrad of the rostrum, on either side, and then extend around the genu to the dorsal aspect of the callosum. The ultimate distribution has not yet been determined. The artery merits notice, both because it is mesal or azygoiis at' its origin, and because, so far as I can ascertain, it has never been named or described, or accurately figured, although a few authors represent some short vessels as given off from the place of origin of the termatic.
