anything except the chorda tympani and palatine VII. A large 

 proportion of the fibers carried by these rami are for such sense organs, 

 their innervation fields being covered for general sensory purposes by 

 the somatic sensory of V. 



8. Anolis presents a well-balanced form for the study of the rep- 

 tilian nervous system. It is an active, responsive animal with well- 

 differentiated muscles and sense organs, yet presenting no excessively 

 specialized features. It is small enough readily to be sectioned and 

 large enough for experimental operations, and it is suggested that 

 degeneration and stimulation experiments on this form would ad- 

 vance our knowledge of the reptilian nervous organs even more 

 than similar anatomical work on other forms. The anatomical work 

 already done, however, should be supplemented by the proper tech- 

 nique to determine the final nerve terminations.
