EXPLANATION OF PLATE XXXVll— Continued. 
rabbit seen, in a horizontal section. Magnifying power about 660. 1 and 
2 are two bundles of fine nerve-fibrils coming off separately from two rami 
perforantes, not included in the drawing. As is shown in the drawing, not 
only are there anastomoses between fi;brils of the same bundle, but also, as 
at 3, between the fibrils of the neighbouring bundles. 
I'lG. 8. From a similar preparation, showing the fibrils of the subepithe- 
lial network in a horizontal section. Magnifying power about 440. All 
these fibrils, like those!of the preceding figure, run horizontally close behind 
the deep layer of the anterior epithelium of the cornea. The actual length 
of the part of the preparation depicted here is 0'4 ram., and all the relations 
of the individual fibrils and their branchlets are drawn with great accuracy, 
in order to show the relative lengths of the fibrils of the subepithelial net- 
work, and* the number of lateral branchlets which pass into the anterior 
epithelium. A, B, C are three bundles of fine fibrils coming off from 
separate rami perforantes. In the bundle A a thick fibril can be fol- 
lowed for a very great length. Of the fibrils with which it anastomoses 
/and g are noteworthy on account of their leugth, and on account of the 
numerous short fibrils, given off by them, which enter the anterior epithelium 
at X ; X indicates all those fibrils which ascend into the anterior epithelium. 
k. A nerve-fibril, through which the fibrils of neighbouring bundles anasto- 
mose with one another.

•Magnifying power about 440, Showing the nature and mode of division 
and anastomoses of the intraepithelial^ nerve-fibrils in the superficial layers 
of the anterior epithelium. The very minute rod-like lateral branchlets 
are very conspicuous. At n a closed network. 
Fig. 10. — From a horizontal section through the cornea of rabbit. 
Magnifying power about 660. Showing the intraepithelial nerve-fibrils, 
and the character of their distribution. At F a very fine fibril. The 
numerous minute lateral branchlets are well shown.v At h, g there is a 
closed network. In the upper right part of the drawing is an intraepi- 
thelial branched corpuscle shown. It has no connection with the nerve- 
fibrils. 
Fig. 11. — From a horizontal section through the cornea of rabbit. Drawn 
with the ^ oil immersion of Zeiss. Showing the intraepithelial nerve- 
fibrils, their varicosities, branching, anastomoses, and terminations. 
a and b. Two nuclei of superficial epithelial cells, to show the relative 
proportions, c. The terminal network seen in profile between two epithelial 
cells, d. The terminal netvrork seen en face. 
Fig. 12. — Intraepithelial nerve-fibrils in a horizontal section through the 
cornea of rabbit. Magnifying power about 440. The numerous minute 
rod-like branchlets are shown here. 
Fig. 13. — From the same cornea. Magnifying power about 1020. 
Showing some of the very fine superficial intraepithelial nerve-fibrils, their 
minute branchlets just indicated. 
Fig. 14. — From the same specimen. Magnifying power about 660. 
Fig. 15. — From the same specimen. Magnifying power about 1020. In 
both figures the fine intraepithelial nerve-fibrils of the superficial layers are 
shown, and their ultimate networks as seen from the surface. The oval 
corpuscle in either figure represents the nucleus of an epithelial cell. ' 
Fig. 16. — From a similar specimen. Drawn with Zeiss’s oil immersion. 
Showing the terminal network of the fine nerve-fibrils. The oval corpuscles 
represent two nuclei of superficial epithelial cells, to show the relative pro- 
portions. The terminal network is in no connection with the nuclei. •
