All these sheaths are composed of the same fibroustissue, which appears to be nothing more than a continuation of the tissue whichconstitutes the neurilemma or sheath of the spinal cord.—Lardner. The interesting discovery has been made within these fewyears, by German anatomists, that these fibres, and aU thefibres composing the nervous matter, are tubes filled with afluid. The annexed sketch shows the fibres of one of thenerves magnified, with the fluid contained in them escapingfrom their extremities. It is probable that this discoverymay be the means of throwing some light upon the functionsof this hitherto little-understood part of the animal frame. The nervous system is made up of two substances, readily distinguishable bytheir colour, texture, and consistence. One is greyish, or rather a pale ashcolour, and hence named cineritiotis (substantia cinerea); and as in the brain itforms an investment for the white substance, it is usually termed cortical (s.
