1239. CONCERNING INTERIOR EXAMINERS, OR AN INTERIOR JUDGMENT There are spirits who make an interior judgment. As those who make external judgment constitute the province of the kidneys and ureters, so those who make interior judgment constitute the province of that part of the cerebrum where are its excretions. In the cerebrum there are many excretions, to wit, those within the pia mater, and those between the folds; also those between the fibers. These excretions are expressed into the mammillary processes and also towards the cribriform plate. In living subjects the excretions are discharged through foramina into the spaces between the meninges and between the fascicles of fibers. In dead subjects these foramina are closed, and therefore the dischargings do not follow. There are also excretions into the large ventricles where are found both pituitous and spirituous elements.
