DESCRIPTION OF PLATE I, 
Illustrating Dr. Beale’s Paper on the Minute Anatomy of 
the Papillae of the Frog’s Tongue. 
Fig. 
1. — Fungiform and simple papillae of tongue of the Hyla. a. Epithelium- 
like mass at summit of papilla, b. Ciliated epithelium at the sides 
of the papilla, c. Ciliated epithelium, covering simple papillae. 
dd. Summits of two simple papillae, with nuclei connected with the 
nerves projecting from them. e. Fine nerve-fibres with their nuclei 
in the connective tissue, f Fine nerve-fibres, which may be traced 
to the nerve-trunk, g. h. Muscular fibres, freely branching, the ten- 
dinous prolongations of the finest subdivisions being inserted into 
the connective tissue at the summit of the papilla, i. Capillary, with 
its nerve-fibres. X 215. 
2. — Small portion of the plexus of nerve-fibres at the summit of the papilla, 
showing the connection of the nerve-fibres with the cells. X 2800. 
a. Epithelium- like cells upon the summit, as in figs. 1, 3, and 4. 
d. Triangular cells connected with delicate nerve-fibres, b. Germi- 
nal matter of epithelium-like cells on summit. The plexus, c, cor- 
responds to that marked b in fig. 3.
