A few medullated nerve fibers (Fig. II, b.) can be seen inthe ganglion. These are gathered together in a bundle whichcan be traced for some distance in the scar when a series ofthese sections are studied. It is not possible to say whetherthese are regenerated fibers or fibers which have persisted fromthe time of transplantation of the Fig. I.

ADECADE of somewhat extensive experience in the fieldof practical surgery and several additional decades inneurologic and psychiatric practice should qualify one forobtruding such neuro-clinical convictions upon surgical atten-tion as will appear in the present communication. The growing appreciation on the part of the wielders ofthe scalpel of the neurological aspects and neural relationsin the human organism to surgical practice is a source of pro-fessional gratification to one whose vocation it is to rightlyconsider the nervous system in its relation to disease andwounds and to discover
