EXPLANATION OF PLATE XL 



Figs. 31-39- Transverse sections through the medulla proceeding cephalad. 

 They show the position of the fasciculus communis, ascending V and, incidentally, 

 the posterior longitudinal fasciculus and fibres of Mauthner. 



Fig. 40. Transverse section through that portion of the vago-glossopharyngeal 

 complex lying just outside the auditory capsule. 



Figs. 41-43. Some of the nerve cells found along the course of the ramifica- 

 tions of the visceral nerves beneath the epithelium of the pharynx. The dotted 

 line in Fig. 41 indicates the inner boundary of the epithelium. 



Figs, i, 2, 4, and 17 are from preparations by the ordinary rapid Golgi method, 

 somewhat modified, in some cases, in the proportions in the fluids used. Figs. 

 5, 6, 7, 18, 19, and 24 are from a series prepared by the triple impregnation modi- 

 fication of Cajal. Figs. 3, 8, 10-16, 31-39, and 40 are from a series prepared by 

 means of the sulphate modification. Figs. 9, 20-23, ^"<^ 4^-43 ^""s from other 

 series prepared by the same modification. Figs. 25-30 are from preparations in 

 which the nerves are stained with osmic acid.
