cular fibres were connected by cross 

 threads of common cellular substance. 



Mr. Carlisle, in whose talents and ac- 

 curacy we are all disposed to place con- 

 fidence, in the Croonian Lecture, printed 

 in the Philosophical Transactions for 1805, 

 says, that he can distinctly see an ultimate 

 muscular fibre, which he describes " as a 

 solid cylinder, the covering of which is 

 reticular membrane, and the contained 

 part a pulpy substance irregularly granu- 

 lated." 



He has also described the termination 

 of nerves in muscles. Muscles are libe- 

 rally supplied both with blood vessels and 

 nerves, but nothing peculiar is perceived 

 in their distribution. We make them 

 very red by injecting them, and we see 

 numerous nerves entering their substance
