PLATE III. CAUDATE NERVE CELLS. 

 Fig. 1. 



Diagram to show the course of the fibres which leave the caudate nerve cells. 

 a a are parts of two nerve cells, and two entire cells are also represented. Fibres 

 from several different cells unite to form single nerve fibres, 666. In passing 

 towards the periphery these compound fibres divide and sub-divide, the re- 

 sulting sub-divisions passing to different destinations. The fine fibres resulting 

 from the sub-division of one of the caudate processes of a nerve cell may help to 

 form a vast number of dark-bordered nerves, but it is, I think, certain that 



NO SINGLE PROCESS EVER FORMS ONE ENTIRE AXIS CYLINDER. 



A diagram of a caudate nerve cell, showing the principal lines which diverge from 

 the fibres at the point where they become continuous with the substance of the 



or more of them may be followed into EVERY OTHER FIBRE 'which proceeds from 

 the cell. The tracts are not connected with the bioplasm of the nerve cell.
