but indistinetly (fig. 5). In the rami intergangliares of the pars 
sacralis I found no ganglion cells. 
Capra hircus. The goat is the only ruminating domestic animal 
in which a ganglion cervical medium occurs. In the proximal portion 
of the cervical sympathicus of this animal numbers of peripheral 
small ganglia oecur, besides a ganglion lying more centrally and 
consisting of + 60 cells and in the distal portion, beside many 
smaller ones, a very large oval ganglion. The goat is poor in gang- 
lion cells in the portion between the 3 and 4'' segments I found 
only a few cells, in that between the 12!" and 13* segments small 
ganglia and a few series of never more than 25 cells. In the nervus 
splanchnicus major several ganglia occur with 8—25 cells. The pars 
lumbalis, on the contrary, is rich in large strong ganglia, in the 
pars sacralis no ganglion cells could be seen. 
Sus scrofa domesticus. Also the pig has a ganglion cervical medium. 
In the proximal half of the cervical sympathicus I found a ganglion, 
1.38 m.m. long, in the distal half none, the thoracal portion of the 
sympathetic trunk (3'¢ and 4" segments) large ganglia and whole 
rows of cells, in its caudal portion, on the contrary, none. Both the 
pars lumbalis and the pars sacralis are rich in ganglia and in series 
of ganglion cells (fig. 6).

Canis familiaris. Likewise in the dog a ganglion cervical medium 
is present. In the proximal portion of the cervical sympathicus | 
found only a few scattered ganglion cells, in its distal portion, 
besides several small ganglia, a peripheral ganglion containing + 120 
round -cells, most of them 25 u in size, arranged in two rows. In 
the beginning of the thoracal portion series of ganglion cells occur 
in the rami intergangliares, frequently also arranged in two rows, 
sometimes, however, collected in small heaps; at the end of that 
part I saw no ganglion cells at this place. In the nervus splanchni- 
cus major, a small ganglion was to be observed consisting of five
