Diagrammalic transverse section of the anterior median dorsal portion of the mesenceplialon and torus longitudi- nalis, tlirough the posterior commissure. Tlie end apparatus of Reissner's fibre is projected on a plane. (In this figure, for trt. tor. fbr. Reis. a., read trt. tor. fbr. Reis. p., and luce versa.) For meaning of abbreviations, see Explana- tion of Plates, p. 257. The cells from the more lateral and anterior portion of the torus send their axons into the ventricle through the posterior commissure or just anterior to it. In young larvae before the development of the commis- sure this is the shortest path to the ventricle (Fig. 5G, trt. tor. fbr. Reis. a.), and the axons penetrate to the ventricle as a rule singly.
