This paper dealing with the mammalian forebrain is one of a series of studies which are being carried on in the Laboratory of Comparative Neurology at the University of Michigan. Macaca mulatta was selected in order to provide an anatomical basis for certain experimental work on the non-cortical basal areas of primates. Although some work has been done on these areas in primates, none has given the detailed information concerning nuclear structure and fiber connections required for the type *of experimental work planned. For this study four series of transverselycut sections were available from the Huber Neurological Collection of the University of Michigan. Two of these series were prepared by the Weil method; the others by a modified toluidin blue method (Huber, '27). One of the Weil and one of the toluidin blue series were cut 20 microns thick; the other two were 30 microns. Photomicrographs have been used for illustrations. Fo r the generous grant which made possible this research, the writer wishes to thank the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies of the University of Michigan. Especially does he wish to express his gratitude to Prof. Elizabeth C. Crosby for her inspiration and unfailing cooperation in the preparation of this paper.
