Abstract

1. The ganglia of the small (100 mm long) Anodonta cygnea L. have smaller dimensions than the large (180 mm long) mussels. 2. The neurons of the small size mussels are smaller than those of the larger ones. 3. Largest nerve cells occur in the ganglion viscerale; they constitute 0.5 to 1.0 per cent of the cell stock. 4. The glia nuclei are of the same size in 'the ganglia of small and large mussels. 5. The number of neurons is lowest in the ggl. cerebrale, highest in the ggl. viscerale. 6. Most glia nuclei are found in the ggl. pedale.
