Nowhere in the origin or path of thehypoglossus did the aneurismal dilatations equal those of the blood-vessels connected with the pneumogastric. They reached in thevicinity of this nerve thirty-seven hundreths of a millimetre, whereasin the regions of the hypoglossus they did not, for long together, gobeyond twenty-eight hundreths of a millimetre. In the cervical sympathetic the cells, as already said, in a granularstate had their nuclei masked by the abundance of pigment fibres with large granulated nuclei pervaded the wholeganglia, and the primitive delicate nerve tubes, with nucleatedsheaths, had undergone a dark granular change.
