The vagal lobe of the cat fish is essentially similar to that of most other teleosts. The general relations as seen in tran- sections stained by Delafield's haematoxylin are shown in Fig. 26.

The vagal lobe of the cat fish is essentially similar to that of most other teleosts. The general relations as seen in tran- sections stained by Delafield's haematoxylin are shown in Fig. 26. The lobe is crowded with numerous small nerve cells, dors- sec. neurones intrinsic neurones superfic- root of X lat. sec. neurones deep root of X nuc- intermedius X spinal V tract desc. sec.

Most of these intrinsic cells are neurones of Golgi's type II, whose processes do not extend beyond the lobe. Along the dorsal and lateral borders of the lobe is a layer containing larger cells whose nuclei stain very little in haematoxylin and whose cytoplasm practically not at all. The axones of these cells con- stitute the chief sensory conduction paths from the vagal lobe to other parts of the brain, and I shall term them the dorsal.
