Abstract
THE introductory general part of the work contains accounts of the phylogeny of the nervous elements, of the inter-relations of the various types of cells—sensory, intermediary or associative, and motor—and of the cytology and histology of the nervous tissues of invertebrates, and a discussion of the neurone theory. The author states that his observations on the eyes and optic ganglia of arthropods afford no evidence of the continuity of neurones. In the special part each phylum is con- sidered in turn, beginning with the Protozoa.
