Cites C.S. Sherrington, 'On the Anatomical Constitution of Nerves of Skeletal Muscles; with Remarks on Recurrent Fibres in the Ventral Spinal Nerve-root', Journal of Physiology 17 (3-4) (1894), pp. 210-258.
Description:'I have just received your letter. 'Mayitol' & the specimens will no doubt come in the next post. But I am writing at once since it occurs to me you may have kept specimens or nerves of your two sets of 1894 in which you received the lower lumbar ganglia omitting the posterior roots (Journal, 17, p. 223). I fear neither nerves nor specimens can have lasted till now, but if they have I should like to look at them. The point is a detail of no particular importance, but I am a little doubtful whether all the postganglionic fibres lose their myelin in the cat soon after joining the spinal nerves.'
