Abstract

It was established in case of Anodonta cygnea, A. anatina and Unio pictorum that the nerve known as nerve branchiale disposes of the properties of the central nervous system as regards its macroscopic anatomical and histological construction. It is considered incorrect to regard it as an organic part of the peripheral nervous system and must be taken for a lobe of the visceral ganglion. For its designation the name lobe branchiale is suggested. This lobe contains those formulae which were designated previously as osphradial ganglion, but its dimension is greater and it contains a considerable part of the nerve cells of the central nervous system.
