prising that they should not find ready acceptance in all quarters. 

 Frederick Tuckerman, in a note recently contributed to the Anatom- 

 ischer Anzeiger, commenting on these views, calls attention to the 

 fact that he had in 1889 discovered the " intragemmal" fibres de- 

 scribed in Retzius' earlier account of the taste-bulbs of Mammals. 

 He, however, seems unwilling to admit that the question as to the 

 nervous connections of the taSte-cells is closed. Further investiga- 

 tion in this interesting field promises much of value and it may be 

 confidently expected that corroborative evidence will soon be forth- 

 coming. As an aid to such investigations the following bibliograph- 

 ical notes are appended. Only the more recent titles are included.
