Butat either side of theselines lies the cutaneousarea which is supplied bya definite spinal cord seg-ment. At the same timeit becomes evident, as Ed-inger explains, that theotherwise obscure distribu-tion of cutaneous innerva-tion in the extremitiesdoes not actually repre-sent the case, because thediagram is based on em-bryology (Figs. 150 and151). However, we mayalso utilize the diagramsof other authors. For thesake of the findings Ihave included those ofSeiffer, as well as thoseof Head; the diagram ofthe latter author has en-abled me exactly to localizemany spinal cord tumors—at least their upper boun-daries (Figs. 152, 1
