anlage lies in contact proximally with the lingual nerve which is 

 shown in oblique section in the figure and distally with the anlage 

 of the submaxillary gland. A slender fiber-bundle accompanied 

 by a few cells which have obviously wandered down from the 

 ganglionic mass may be traced into the anlage of the submaxillary
