I n the course of studies on the innervation of the heart, elaborate nerve endings with flattened branches were seen in the ganglia of the intermuscular nerve p'lexus (myenteric plexus in the intestine) in portions of the oesophagus that had been left attached -together with the tracheato the hearts of newborn and very young puppies. The blocks had been impregnated with the Cajal technique after fixation in the alcohol-chloral hydrate mixture. Since it seemed probable that the nerve endings observed had not completed their development, longitudinal sections of the oesophagus of older puppies were prepared with the same technique. I n all, the oesophagi of puppies of the following ages were examined :
