In 1947 our efforts had been confined to digging a wide L-shaped trench peripheral to the central section of the site, from which six fully extended burials were removed, as well as a disturbed burial and reburial.
The few interments we did expose came, again, from the peripheral sectors.
This peripheral occurrence of burials suggests the possibility of marginal cemeteries rather than burial plots in the central living area, a feature often characteristic of later cultures.

The semicircular canals, which are peripheral organs concerned in the maintenance of equilibration, form part of the inner ear apparatus.
Occasionally it is due to nerve lesions such as peripheral neuritis, or to injuries and diseases in the region of the ankle, when the foot has been allowed to remain for long periods in the attitude of plantar-flexion.
Even when the paralysis has lasted for some time, secondary suture should be attempted; if this is impossible, the peripheralend should be anastomosed with the anterior primary divisions of the third and fourth cervical nerves (Tubby).
A similar deformity may result from section of the peroneal (external popliteal) nerve, from the peroneal form of progressive muscular atrophy, and from peripheral neuritis.
A few are away from these being separated by three or four layers of cells from the peripheral bundles.
The peripheral bundles are not so close to the periphery of the stem as in Rottboellia exaltata.

They are probably never injurious in the larval stage, that is, in the stage in which they are found in the peripheral circulation.
The central portion of these groups dries to crusts, while new pustules appear at the peripheral portion.
The patches spread by the appearance of new tubercles, or infiltrations at the peripheral portion.
The lesions are soft or firm, reddish or pinkish-white, with the peripheral portion of a bright red color, and are fugacious in character, disappearing and reappearing in the most capricious manner.
The skin at a certain point or part, commonly where there is a lesion of continuity, becomes bright red and swollen; this spreads byperipheral extension, and in the course of several hours involves a portion or the whole region.
The disease is dependent upon impairment or degeneration of the central, truncal or peripheral nerves.

As life goes on, there is a constant change of our interests, and a consequent change of place in our systems of ideas, from more central to more peripheral, and from more peripheral to more central parts of consciousness.
Man, with the peripheral sensory system, gathers various stimuli from his environment.
The channels EA and MT areperipheral channels, the former centripetal and the latter centrifugal, and the channel AM is the inter-central channel of association.
In the first case the peripheral line is a red band nearly one-half an inch wide and the rays appear in groups above and below it.
The first is flattened above, the body being much expanded horizontally and having a sharp peripheral angle.
The skeleton and peripheral nerves originate wholly within the middle layer.
The peripheral division of the nervous system includes all the nervous structures found outside of the brain and spinal cord.
The peripheral divisions of the nervous system are concerned in the transmission of impulses between the surface of the body and the central system and between the central system and the active tissues.
As a result of increased differentiation, the skin and the central nervous system became further and further separated, and in the end the two were only permanently connected by the afferent peripheral sensory nerves.
The central marrow (brain and spinal cord) develops from the medullary tube in man just as in all the other mammals, and the same applies to the conducting marrow or "peripheral nervous system.
These cerebral nerves are (with the exception of the first and second pair, the olfactory and optic nerves) merely modifications of spinal nerves, and are essentially similar to them in theirperipheral expansion.
The latter are the peripheral and ubiquitous nerve-fibres; with their terminal apparatus, the sense-organs, etc.
All these peripheral nerves grow out of the medullary tube (Figure 1.
The one is only connected with the other by a section of the peripheral nervous system and the sense-organs.

The submission to China was, among other things, a means by which the rulers of the peripheral states could get themselves recognized by an authority higher than themselves, thus legitimizing their position.

The peripheralsocieties all owed a great part, if not all, of their culture to the Chinese.
Sun praised the old system of Eastern Asia, by which the peripheral states stood in vassalage to China, a vassalage which he regarded as mutually voluntary and not imperialistic in the unpleasant sense of the word.
That this is no freakish coincidence, may be shown by the contrast between China and any of the peripheral realms.
