Two years later Eetzius (1892a) published an account of the innervation of the taste-buds of mammals and of amphibians in which he showed in preparations stained by methylenblue as well as by the Golgi process that the nerve-fibers were not directly connected with the taste-cells but ended in close proximity to them (Fig. 31). These results were confirmedinl893by von Lenhossek, Arnstein, and Jacques as well as by the subsequent work of Eetzius himself (1893) and there seems to be no ground for doubting the correctness of the general conclusion arrived at more or less independently by these four investigators. The anatomical relations shown by these workers are relatively simple. From the subepithelial nerve plexus in the neighborhood of taste-buds fibers pass out- ward into the epidermis. These fibers either form sys-.
