Mr. Csesar Hawkins discovered in the fresh-water muscle a striking proof of the identical na-ture of the nodules found upon different parts of thecentral organ of the nervous system in the lower this instance all the nodules distinctly consist ofthe same substance, which happens to have a rem&rk-ably bright yellow colour, while the chords which con-nect them, and the nerves, are 256 Nervous Sijste?n of Vertebral Animals.
