^‡ Dr. J. W. Ogle, referring to ten cases examined in St. George's Hospital, says—“I would observe on the exemption from anything like arachnitis in connection with the various growths—in no case was there any such complication attendant. Neither was there during life anything of the nature of mental imbecility, or any symptom of the various phases of insanity.” (“Journal of Mental Science,” July 1864, p. 229.) In Dr. Ogle's cases the tumours were seated in the central parts of the brain, and did not involve the convolutions.Google Scholar
