NERVUS TERMINALIS IN AN INFANT

the interspersed nerve cells, serves to distinguish it. The 

 fibers of the fila olfactoria are not impregnated except perhaps 

 rarely in isolated spots deeply overstained. 



Huber and Guild ('13) have mentioned the similarity of the 

 peripheial nervus terminalis to an enteric plexus. Perhaps 

 figure 1 gives too much emphasis to the anastomosis of fibers,

 section, shows relations of cells to the fiber plexus at nodal points. Artery

since in the reconstruction all fibers crossing at a common point 

 were made to inosculate. Figure 2, drawn with more care with 

 regard to this point, leaves little doubt that there is frequent 

 anastomosis with a tendency to cell aggregations at the nodal 

 points. There was seldom any evidence of bifurcation of fibers 

 at such points although some were seen in rami of the V nerve 

 encountered in the preparation. Figure 3 represents the ap- 

 pearance of a single section taken from the low^er right margin
