Extract

The Glossopharyngeal.—The glossopharyngeal is usually looked upon as the most typical of the cranial nerves. In Amia, according to Allis, it consists of post- and præ-branchial branches, a visceral or pharyngeal branch, and a dorsal branch which takes part in innervating the lateral line system—supplying by a single twig one of the sense organs of the lateral canal, and in addition a row of pit organs.
