Abstract

LITTLE seems to be known regarding the innervation of the lamellibranch muscles, especially of the adductors. J. Bowden and J. Lowy1 found nerve fibres and nerve endings in the muscles (Ranvier's gold chloride method), but as they state: “the results were never really satisfactory”. They found methylene blue staining adequate to detect the larger trunks and to trace their course, but the process, by their own admission, is “useless for showing details of innervation”. As to other methods of impregnation used, Bowden and Lowy state: “no nerve elements could be stained” in this region.
