Some of these fibers or their collaterals enter directly the motor 

 layer and there arborize. Others end by simple arborizations 

 in the substantia reticularis and others turn caudad in the des- 

 cending secondary communis tract. Whether any go cephalad

On the left at a a single chief secondary gustatory neurone is impregnated 

 whose neurite sends collaterals into the dorsal part of the motor layer of the 

 vagal lobe. On the right the area marked by the crosses is filled with a rich im- 

 pregnation of similar cells which are not sketched in. At 3 is a single secondary 

 neurone of the type shown in Fig. 12, and at c imperfect impregnations of deeper 

 secondary neurones of the intrinsic type. On the right one cell of the motor 

 layer is impregnated whose dendrites reach secondary gustatory tracts partly 

 within the vagal lobe and partly in the substantia reticularis.
