The anterior reflex fibres to the ventral horn are all collaterals, not continu-ations of the stem-fibres, far the greater part of which come from the fibres of thelong ascending posterior tract. These collaterals penetrate the gray matter princi-pally at the median border of the head of the posterior horn, behind Clarkescolumn, but partly also through the substantia Rolandi, and thence pass ventrally orventro-laterally, with a slightly curved or sigmoid course,
