8. — A and b. Two ultimate brandies of two different nerve-trunks, from 
the cornea of the frog, showing very distinctly the precise manner 
in which the one branch anastomoses with the other. The anas- 
tomoses are effected by the mutual change of the fibres. X 350. 
9. — From the cornea of the frog. Bundles of nerve-fibres, forming 
networks. Connected with them may be seen a triangular body, 
from which fibres proceed in different directions. Some fibres of 
the bundles pass close to this body without any intimate connec- 
tion with it. The triangular body contains granular matter, which 
appears to have collected in two places, assuming the appearance 
of two dark spots. X 350. 
10. — Triangular body, from which fibres spring in three different directions. 
From the cornea of the frog. X 350. 
11. — Network of pale nerve-fibres, and network of the branches of the 
cornea-corpuscles, from the cornea of the frog. These two kinds 
of networks lie on different planes, and the relation between them 
is well shown, x 350. 
] 2. — Shows the course, size, and relative position of the primitive nerve- 
fibres in the branches of the nerves distributed to the cornea of the 
mouse. X 350. 
13. — Nervous ])Iexus in the cornea of the mouse. The general arrangement 
of the bundles of nerve-fibres in the formation of the plexus, and 
the special bodies connected with them, are well seen. X 250. 
14. — One of those special bodies which are seen in connection with the 
nervous plexus of the cornea of the mouse. Besides a nucleus, it 
contains granular matter. Bundles of fibres proceed from it in 
three different directions. X 350. 
15. — Another body of the same kind, in which the nucleus has undergone 
division. From the cornea of the mouse. X 350. 
16. — From the cornea of man. Small nerve-branch, which divides into two 
smaller ones; and from the pressure to which the thin section of 
the cornea has been subjected, the nerve-fibres of one branch ap- 
pear separated from one another. X 350. 
17. — Shows the manner in which the fine bundles of nerve-fibres are 
arranged in the formation of the plexus existing in the human 
cornea, x 350.
