PLATES XIV & XV {continuecT). 
n the figures in Plate XV, which will be readily understood from the descrip- 
tion under each figure. The ultimate ramifications of the nerve, which 
form a plexus or network, must be considered as consisting of still 
finer fibres, perhaps not anatomically distinct, but still composed of matter 
which is traversed by nerve-force in many different lines. 
The arrangement of the trachese in these drawings is also worthy of 
examination. 
In figs. 7 and 10 the manner in which the finest nerve-fibres pass to 
the surface of the sarcolemma is represented. The appearance has been 
interpreted by Kiilme in a very different manner. He considers that 
the nerve penetrates the sarcolemma at the summit of the conical portion, 
and forms within a little terminal elevation, consisting of its subdivisions 
and nuclei {nerven-hugel). Kiihne has described as a single terminal 
nerve-fibre what really consists of a bundle of fine fibres. These, however, 
could not be demonstrated by the process of investigation employed by him. 
Nor was it possible that either of the fine nerve-fibres or tracheae ramifying 
over the sarcolemma, and figured in the drawings accompanying this paper, 
could be seen in his specimens. Those who have recently written upon 
this subject in Germany have, in fact, made the nerves end or cease at the 
point where they commence to ramify over the surface of the sarcolemma. 
The nuclei in the nerve-trunks represented in fig. 7 as pale spots, 
should have been coloured like the other nuclei in the figure.
