^{page 68 note ‡} It has been stated by Sir Charles Bell, that he believes the 3d nerve to be sensitive as well as motor, because it has an origin from behind as well as from before the grey matter of the crus cerebri; and although the examples of the portio dura and the spinal accessory nerves (which appear to be purely motor, although originating in part from the posterior portion of the cord) render that inference doubtful, yet I am bound to admit that, according to the statement of Valentin,* there is experimental evidence of sensations being felt on irritation of the 3d nerve. But this author is equally confident, from experiment, that there is no sensibility in the 6th nerve;† and it should be remembered that movements are often performed by the 3d nerve,—such as rolling the eyes inwards, and raising the eyelid,—which are not prompted by the sensations of the retinæ, and for the regulation of which sensations in the moving parts themselves may therefore be required.
