About a little-known system of fibers running along the periphery of the antero-external part of the cervical part of the spinal cord

For a long time I had in mind to write a note about the fiber system, which I called the olive bunch (aka Dreikantbahn Helweg'a) and which I described in detail in a separate article in Neur. Centr. No. 12, 1894; but purely different external circumstances served as an obstacle. The immediate reason for this lock is the fact that recently this system began to pay attention to the authors and was the subject of research by several persons, among other things Reinhold, Risk and Obersteiner. This system undoubtedly deserves attention and study, since there are still some unclear points regarding it. The main of these points relate to 1) the direction of the fibers of the system under consideration and 2) its origin and termination.
