Abstract
THE anatomical and physiological connexion between the pituitary and diencephalon form the subject of Prof. P. T. Herring's presidential address to Section I (Physiology). The diencephalon itself is the site of integration of nervous impulses concerned in the regulation of many of the fundamental processes of life. The pituitary body is the only one of the diverse structures of the diencephalon which receives an accession of epithelium from an outside source the buccal epithelium. These epithelial elements of the pituitary form one of the most important structures of the diencephalon.
