The Cranial Nerves. The nerves of the head exhiljit a muchgreater degree of heteronomy than the spinal nerves, and, inspite of much study, knowledge of their embryonic developmentis still in a very unsatisfactory condition. The same principles,however, apply to the development of both cranial and spinalnerves; the axones of the former like those of the latter ariseeither from medullary or ganglionic neuroblasts which are re-spectively unipolar and bipolar; but the cranial ganglionic and
