bino, values which apply to the mean of the entire cell ^'popu- 

 lation" of this ganglion have been obtained (Hatai, '07 b). The 

 ganglion examined was from a mature male weighing 194 grams. 

 The ganghon was fixed in osmic acid and imbedded in paraffin. 

 The mean values are as follows — table 60.
