PLATE 2 
EXPLANATION OF FIGURES 
The sections illustrated in plate 1 are from abdominal ganglion cells prepared 
by Bensley’s A. O. B. method, and were cut approximately parallel with the long 
axis of the intracellular axone. Sections are 4u in thickness. 
Figures 1 to 4 represent photographs of a series of sections from a single cell, 
showing the intracellular axone curving about the nucleus and in contact with 
it in figures 2,3, and 4, but without organic continuity. Figure 4 shows a lateral 
bending of the axone fibrils as the plane of the section passes to one side of them 
at the right of the nucleus. Figure 5 is of a section from another cell, and it 
likewise shows contact of axone fibrils with the nucleus. Undulations of the 
intracellular axone are to be observed near the point of exit from the cell body. 
Figure 6, from yet another cell, shows better than the others the diffuse character 
of the intracellular axone not far from its exit. Neurofibrillae are evident in 
all the sections, but most distinctly in figure 6. A reticulation of clear spaces, 
artefacts (?), is evident in all the figures. Magnification: figures 1 to 4, X 539: 
figure 5, X 576; figure 6, X 563.
