478 DEVELOPMENT OF ELASMOBRANCH FISHES. 



Fig. 4. Pancreas (pan) and adjoining part of the alimentary tract in longitudinal 

 section, from an embryo between stages L and M. Zeiss A, ocul 2. 



Fig. 5. Portion of liver network^ of stage L. Zeiss C, ocul. i. The section is 

 intended to illustrate the fact that the tubules or cylinders of which the liver is 

 composed are hollow and not solid. Between the liver tubules are seen blood spaces 

 with distinct walls, and blood corpuscles in their interior. 



Fig. 6. Section through part of one of the suprarenal bodies of an adult Scyllium 

 hardened in chromic acid. Zeiss C, ocul. i. The section shews the columnar cells 

 forming the cortex and the more polygonal cells of the medulla. 



Fig. 7. Transverse section through the anterior suprarenal body of an adult 

 Scyllium. Zeiss B, ocul. 2. Reduced one- third. The tissue of the suprarenal body 

 has not been filled in, but only the sympathetic ganglion cells which are seen to be 

 irregularly scattered through the substance of the body. The entrance of the nerve 

 (n) is shewn, and indications are given of the distribution of the nerve-fibres. 



Fig. 8. Section through the sympathetic ganglion of a Scyllium embryo between 

 stages M and N, shewing the connecting trunk between the suprarenal body and the 

 spinal nerve (sf n), and the appearance of an indication in the ganglion of a portion 

 more directly connected with the nerve. Zeiss D, ocul. 2. 



Fig. o,. Section through one of the anterior sympathetic ganglia of an embryo of 

 stage Q, shewing its division into a true ganglionic portion (sy g), and a suprarenal 

 body (sr). Zeiss C, ocul 2.
