 bodies which Ikeda v;as tne +lrst to describe, {'^ir,o7) Al- 

 though I have seen these bodies on all occayions in surface 

 vievs stained with methylene blue yet iii sections 1 have never 

 been able to niake then out, i ^^ they are nerve colls. It must 

 be mentioned, however, tl-.at in transverse sections throu.-;!. the 

 edge of the hood evet^y 2M section shows at least one nucleus 

 closely applied to the rin^: o -^ nervous tissue running, rouna tlie 

 ed(.:e of the hood. {'^i^.4Z) These occupy the sarie position 

 witii reference to the ediie of the hood tl-.at the coli-like bod- 

 ies do vdiich. are seeii in sui^faco views, but I take tiieiri to be 

 the nuclei o-^ muscle cells a.nd frequently I have traced deeply 

 stained muscle fibers arisin^^ from them. (T''i,_;.42) V/ithin

Ikeda has fiijured a j^reat many fibers arising, f-xin tiie gan-
