In tlie small papillfe, the nerve forms a single loop,while in papillae of larger size, and endowed with a powerof more exalted sensation, the nerve is bent several timesupon itself previous to completing the loop. These littleloops spring from a net-work of nerves, imbedded in theupper porous layer of the true skin, at the base of the papil-Iva. This net-work of nerves receives its influence throughnerves which take their winding course through the fat dis-tended openings of the deeper layers of the true Fig. 113. 1, 1, The cuticle. 2, 9, The colored layer of the cuticle. 3, 3, TTiepapillary layer, exhibiting the nerves as they form loops. 4, 4, The net-work ofnerves. 5, 5, The true skin. 6, 6, 6, Three nerves tliat divide to form the net-work (4, 4.) 7, 7, 7, The furrows between the papill®. 8, 8, 8, Three papillamagnified fifty diameters. 629.
