69. Malischeff on Nerve-endings in the Stomach and 

 (Esophagus. 



[Einige Bemerkungen iiber die Nervenendigungen iiu (Esopliagus und 

 Magen der Vogel. Von N. MaliscliefF. Bull. Soc. Imp. Nat. Moscou, 



1897, no. 2, pp. 278-289 (8 woodcuts).] 



The method of investigation adopted by the author is that 

 of Ramon y Cajal, who has studied the nervous system so

 the nerves supplying the glandular epithelium end in fine 

 plexuses of varicose fibres, which, however, do not apparently 

 penetrate the gland-cells themselves. In the gizzard the 

 nerve-fibres end in small swellings, which are closely applied 

 to the gland-cells. In some cases there was no network of 

 fibres to be found, but in the gizzard of Parus major a net- 

 work occurs, which is figured and described.

 of the most obvious addresses that the working naturalist 

 would require, although it cannot of course compete with the 

 ' Zoologisches Adressbuch.' But the Foreign and Colonial
