Abstract
A scarcity of Sphenodon material has not altogether limited the literature on the brain and pineal eye. Wiedersheim (1893) has not only referred to the brain of Hatteria punctata in his account of the reptilian brain, but also he has included illustrations of dorsal, ventral, and lateral views of the adult brain and a longitudinal section through the brain. Osawa (1898), working in Wiedersheim's laboratories, i11cluded in his anatomical studies of Hatteria a description of the brain and the cranial nerves. Developmental studies of the central nervous system of Sphenodon were begun by Dendy ( 1899) when he treated its embryology as a part of his outlines of the development of Tuatara.
