the ganglion in which the cell-body is located. These neurones 

 have been so well described and illustrated by earlier observers 

 that any attempt to illustrate their diversity of form in this paper 

 would be superfluous. A few representative neurones taken from 

 the ganglia of the myenteric plexus in the small intestine are 

 illustrated in the accompanying figure (fig. 1, A, B, C).

The axone is usually a slender, somewhat varicose fiber which 

 arises either from the base of a protoplasmic process or directly 

 from the cell-body. Not infrequently axones may be traced 

 from their origin into the commissures connecting the ganglia 

 of the myenteric plexus or into those leading from this plexus into 

 the submucous plexus. In some instances axones may be traced
