DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURE. 



A diagrammatic view of the sensory components of the cranial nerves of 

 Menidia, as seen from the right side. The diagram is based upon a projection 

 of the cranial nerves upon the sagittal plane made by reconstruction from serial 

 sections. The general cutaneous component is indicated by the single cross- 

 hatching, the communis component by double cross-hatching and the acustico- 

 lateral is drawn in black.
