The apparent discrepancies are susceptible of explanation. Besides the gray matter, with its cells of highest functional value from the standpoint now taken, the brain consists, and in large part, of neuroglia and nerve-fibers, with probably ohieflyj and in the case of the fibers solely, a conducting func- 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 Mills, Wesley, 1847-1915.
