Fig. 1. Section of the spinal cord in the thoracic region. {Slightly modified from Sclmalhe.) The characteristic appearance of the cells of Clarke's column is well shown in the Figure on p. 58 of Henle's Nervenlehre des Menschen (2nd Edition). They measure from 45—90 fM, according to Stilling and Schwalbe. The cells of the lateral horn in tbe thoracic region, i. e. the cells of the intermedio-lateral tract (E in Fig. 1), are described by Schwalbe (p. 349) as consisting of groups of spindle-shaped multipolar cells which are smaller than those of the anterior horn and are arranged for the most part with their long axis in the direction of the lateral horn. The solitary cells of the base of the posterior horn are figured in Schwalbe (p. 350) as elongated spindle-shaped multipolar cells of a size much smaller than those of the anterior horn, possessing a marked axis cylinder process the direction of which is nearly at right angles to the long axis of the cell. We see then that these different groups of nerve cells present marked characteristics and (see Fig. 1) are arranged in a definite manner in the spinal cord; those groups of nerve cells which in this 11—2
