Note 167 — Chapter VII · THE ELEMENTARY STRUCTURE OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.
Reading edition
Beale, Bioplasm, p. 177. Max Schultze, in Stricker’s Handbuch, p. 134. Comp. Stilling, Nervenprimitiv-Faser, p. 133. Arndt, Archiv für mikros. Anat., 1868, p. 512; and 1869, p. 237. Weighty as these authorities are, their view is questionable—firstly, because the forms of these cells are too constant and definite in particular places to result from the union of fibrils coming from various origins; but secondly, and mainly, because the teaching of Development is opposed to it.
