Abstract
This paper demonstrates for the first time with the electron microscope that connections between myelin sheaths and glia exist in developing mammalian central nervous tissue. A perikaryon and its sheath may be separated by some distance. The connecting processes are described. Central sheath-glial relationships are discussed briefly and compared to possible correlates observed in the light microscope.
