DESCRIPTION OF PLATE III, 
Illustrating Dr. Beale’s Paper on the Minute Anatomy of 
the Papillse of the Frog’s Tongue. 
Fig. 
10. — Diagram of three papillae from the frog’s tongue, to show the arrange- 
ment of the nerve-fibres. 
11. — Muscular fibres from tongue, with nerve-fibres ramifying amongst 
them. 
12. — Fine muscular fibre to show a fault, x 1800. 
13. — Drawing to show the mode in which the mass of germinal matter 
‘ nucleus ’ takes part in the formation of the fibrillae of muscle. The 
arrow shows the direction in which the nucleus moves. It once 
occupied the interval between c and d, but has moved to the position 
between b and c. 
14. — Drawing to show the plexuses or networks of fine nerve-fibres. The 
mode of subdivision of the dark-bordered fibres, and the manner in 
which they enter into the formation of the plexuses, are also well seen. 
The course of the numerous nerve-currents is indicated by the dotted 
lines. 
15. — From the mylohyoid muscle of the Hyla. Trunks of fine dark-bordered 
nerve-fibres, with fine fibres coming from them, some of which may 
be traced to the vessels, while others are distributed to the muscular 
fibres, which are not represented in the drawing. The arrangement 
of the nerves supplying the capillary vessel is well seen, x 110.
