The branches retain their medul-lary sheath until they reach the sarcolemma, when the white substanceabruptly terminates, while the primitive sheath becomes continuous with 176 NERVOUS SYSTEM. the sarcolemma (Kiihne, fig. 174, s). Ranvier states, however, that it isa prolongation of the nucleated sheath of Henle, and not the primi-tive sheath which is continuous with the sarcolemma. The axis-cylinder
