We are indebted to the recherches of v. Wyss *) and Engelmann ^) 

 for first directing the attention of anatomists to the papilla foliata of 

 mammals as an organ of taste. The investigations of these observers 

 were followed, almost immediately by those of W. Krause ^\ and a 

 little later v. Ajtai *) and Hönigschmied ^) published the results of 

 their studies of this interesting structure. 



More recently the foliate organ has been examined by Poulton ^), 

 Lustig^), Hermann^), and Boulart and Pilliet^). 



In 1869 V. Wyss described the taste bulbs in the papilla foliata 

 of the rabbit, and in 1870 he studied them in the foliate papillae of 

 the rat and squirrel, and called attention to the analogous organs 

 of man. 



In 1870 Engelmann described the taste bulbs in the lateral or-
