Hypothetical relationship of the Teleostei modified from Fink and Weitzman (1982) and Fink and Fink (1981) to show the extent of the distributed innervation pattern in teleosts.^™ = distributed innervation in ;=i = distributed innervation in some members. the red muscle fibers are multiply innervated in a distributed fashion, so that each muscle fiber receives a number of motor terminations along its length (Fig. 1A). In most teleosts, the white muscle fibers are similarly innervated (Figs. ID, 3, 6)

In most teleosts, the white muscle fibers are similarly innervated (Figs. ID, 3, 6), but in some an entirely different innervation pattern is found. In such fishes the white muscle fibers are innervated only at their myoseptal ends, so that innervation is focal and terminal (Figs. IB, 4, 5). Although this mode of innervation of white muscle fibers is rare in teleosts (Barets, 1961; Bone, 1964), investigations on other fish groups such as the Halecomorphi, Ginglymodi, Brachiopterygii,.
