Nevertheless, it can hardly be said that there even to-day any general consensus opinion regard them. work detailed present paper arose out an endeavour provide demonstration reparations gut-plexuses for teaching purposes. Eventually, with generous unstinted help late Prof. N. Kulchitsky, a method partially isolating staining modified Bielchowsky silver technique was evolved, yielded preparations such excellence I induced make attempt histological constitution. propose give first all very brief summary purely results obtained previous workers this field, later, when setting forth my own observations, deal more detail related literature.
