Plexus of fine Non-niecTullated Nerve-fibres of the Cornea: a, a thick non-medullated nerve-fibre;
6, a fine one; c, d, elementary fibrils, anastomosing into a network.
of the body thev have a closer woven network than others, as in the
cornea, skin, and mucous membrane (Figs. 129 and 130). In the two
latter tissues they are extremely abundant, forming two plexuses, a deep
and a superficial, the latter being the finer and closer woven.

If a nerve of sensation be traced from its network of distribution
toward its centre, it will be first found composed of primitive fibrils,
