Most of these are doubtless connected with the roots of the many nerves which arise from the me- dulla oblongata. Stilling refers to special ac- cumulations of vesicular matter connected with the roots of each nerve, and which probably form its proper origin. These contain large vesicles. It is impossible to give an exact in- terpretation to all the parts which are seen by his method of examination, imperfectly defined as they are from the use of such low mag- nifying powers. It would be waste of time and space to do more than refer to the repre- sentation given by Stilling (fig. 397) of the Fig. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Todd, Robert Bentley, 1809-1860.
