FIG. 25.—Vertical, transverse section taken through fish seen in fig. 24. Shows the two lateral electric organs with their vertical column of flat disks, the electroplaxes, and the brain, cut in the region of the electric lobes, lying between the electric organs. The polarity of the E. M. F. generated in the electiic organs is indicated by the plus and minus signs. FIG. 26.—Transverse section through me- dulla oblongata of Torpedo mar- morata. The section passes through the thickest part of the electric lobes, whose large motor nerve-cells are seen to compose the greater pai t of its mass. The nerve processes of these cells are seen to be leaving the lobes later- ally as the large electric nerves that go to the electric organ.
