The papillce fungiformes consistof a clavate primary papilla, whoseentire surface is beset with closelyplaced, conical, secondary papillae,01—012 in length, and investedwith a simple epithelium, such asis met with elsewhere in theoral cavity, without filiform pro-cesses, or any very horny cells, and which, measured fromtheir points, has a thickness of 004—0*05.

Thevessels present the same arrangement as in the p. filiformes,only that they are much more numerous; and as regardsthe nerves, one or two larger trunks of 004—OOS, enterinto every fungiform papilla, together with many minutefilaments, which, spreading out in the form of a brush, andrepeatedly anastomosing (
