collection of papei's, mostly from periodicals. Says that fibers, 

 apparently longer than 40 mm., are really composed of two spindle- 

 form elements, p. 4. In short muscles and in the longest muscles 

 of small animals, the fibers are as long as the muscle, p. 5. (Sec. 

 1-4.) A fiber has only one end-plate, p. 79, and end-plates are easy 

 to examine in the diaphragm of the mouse, p. 88. (Sec. 14.) The 

 sarcolemma extends around the fine pointed end of fibers, p. 4.

 fasern ; Wien, 1861. pp. 74, 5 pi., from Sitzungsb. d. k. Akad. d. 

 Wissench, Math-naturw. CI. Wien. Bd. XX. Shows a branched 

 ending fi'om the intestine of an insect (Sec. 8), and makes the 

 generalization that branches and anastomoses result fi'om the incom- 

 plete joining of the sarcoplasts or elements from which the fibers 

 arise, p. 37. (Sees. 7, 8 and 12.)

 arrangement of the fibers in bundles which interdigitate and cross on 

 the ventral and dorsal line (Sec. 6 ), and also tapering fibers with 

 pointed, blunt or branched ends. (Sec. 7, 8.)

 endings, each branch being formed by a fibril, which gradually 

 merges into a tendon attaching to the basal membrane of the 

 stratum mucosum. (Sec. 8, 13.)
