Authors are by no means agreed with regard to the uses of theseganglions. Willis,^ Haller,^ and others, considered them to be smallbrains for the secretion of the nervous fluid or animal spirits; anopinion, which was embraced by Richerand, and Cuvier;* the latterof whom remarks, that the ganglia are larger and more numerouswhen the brain is deficient in size. Lancisi,^ and Vicq dAzyr, re-garded them as a kind of heart for the propulsion of these spirits, oras reservoirs for keeping them in deposit. Scarpa^ treats them assynonymous with plexuses; but plexuses with the filaments in closeapproximation; and plexuses he regards as ganglions, the filaments ofwhich are more separated. He consequently believes, with manyphysiologists, that their office is to commingle and
