Fig. 11 The right Mauthner’s cell from a young Ameiurus melas, fixed in 
formol-osmic-Zenker and stained with iron hematoxylin. A semidiagrammatic 
reconstruction from ten sections, 5 u thick, magnified 250 diameters to show the 
relations of dendrites and axone to the cell body and the two striking synapses 
of the cell, viz., the endings of the VIIIth root fibers (UnXed VIII) upon the 
lateral dendrite and the axone cap covering the medial surface of the cell. Only 
four of the cap dendrites (C.Dend.) are shown.
