impartial investigation. Some of the points at issue are so con-

EXPLANATION OF PLATE I. 
Figs. 1, 2. — Hemispherical caps of fungiform papillae, representing the two pre- 
vailing forms. 
„ 3. — Fungiform papilla after removal of cap, showing a tuft of, probably, 
terminal organs. 
„ 4. — Epithelium from different parts of a fungiform papilla — 
a. from caps. 
b. from ciliated portion of surface. 
c. from mucous crypt. 
„ 5. — A fungiform papilla seen from above, and showing the plexiform arrange- 
ment of the nerves in the summit, the cylinder rods, and the so-called, 
" bifurcate cells." 
„ 6. — One of the terminal masses torn from its attachments, and exhibiting 
irregular projections at its edges. 
„ 7. — Fungiform cap of a papilla somewhat contracted by the medium in which 
it was placed for examination. 
„ 8. — Eepresents the anastomoses of very fine nucleated nerves, with darJc- 
bordered nerves of a papilla. 
„ 9. — Distribution of nerves to striped muscle in the Frog's tongue, showing 
nuclear masses, adherent fibres, and fine plexuses on the sarcolemma — 
a. b. fine closely-adherent fibres. 
c. c. most delicate fibres proceeding from a plexus ; these have 
occasionally been traced for some distance. 
„ 10. — One of the nuclear expansions of a nerve and its axis cylinder. 
„ IL — Inosculations of the nucleated with the dark-bordered nerve fibres, seated 
in the tissue beneath the tongue. 
* It is almost unnecessary to say that the Plate has been prepared from these.
