Abstract
Frog’s nerve-fibres present very different appearances in different portions of their length, when teased and examined in Ringer’s solution. The main distinctions affect the contents of the myelin sheath. To avoid misunderstanding I propose to speak of this portion of the nerve-fibre as the “intramyelin material,” since the term more generally used (“axis-cylinder”) has now become so completely identified with new appearances produced in this material by the action of reagents. Briefly summarised the main differences observed are as follows:― ( a ) In places the intramyelin material exhibits the perfect transparency and homogeneity of a clear solution.
