Blind Cavefish

Typhlichthys eigenmanni Charlton, 1933 was described inadvertently in a richly illustrated publication on the comparative anatomy of the central nervous system of blind cavefishes. Characters described by Charlton (1933) are sufficient to differentiate the species from Amblyopsis rosae (Eigenmann, 1898), with which he compared it in a detailed examination of the optic tectum, the primary visual center of the brain. These characters are: 1) a relatively narrow optic nerve, 2) a relatively large tractus mesencephalo-cerebellaris anterior; 3) the rostral bundle of the fibrae tectales nervi optici ascending in front of the nucleus dorsali thalami as opposed to coursing around its anterior pole; and, 4) relatively small brachia tecti. Efforts to locate Charlton’s type specimens of T. eigenmanni, likely histological slides, have not been successful. The type locality is Ha Ha Tonka State Park, Camden Co., Missouri. Putative topotypes are catalogued in collections of the University of Michigan, Museum of Zoology. Typhlichthys eigenmanni Charlton, 1933 is a subjective synonym of T. subterraneus Girard, 1859, the Southern Cavefish.

Kalter monograph is a compendium of congenital malformations of the central nervous system organized by agent or method (Part 1) or by animal (Part 2). As such, it is a valuable source of teratological information up to the year 1967. While largely a résumé of literature, it includes a reserved presentation of the author contribution to teratology.

The Central Nervous System

A case of sustained hypertension complicating acute protracted poliomyelitis with respiratory involvement is presented. Data of studies of the autonomic nervous system and the kidneys are given. Complete necropsy findings, including detailed examination of the central nervous system, are presented. The role played by the nervous system and kidney is discussed, and it is suggested that in this case the hypertension probably was due to neurogenic factors.

Kalter's monograph is a compendium of congenital malformations of the central nervous system organized by agent or method (Part 1) or by animal (Part 2). As such it is a valuable source of teratological information to 1967. While largely a resume of literature, it includes a reserved presentation of the author's contribution to teratology. The bibliography of 94 pages seems well coordinated not only by the organization of individual chapters but by adequate author and subject indices.

Three fawns of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), given 1500–2200 infective larvae of Pneumostrongylus tenuis Dougherty, 1945, were autopsied 65, 90, and 144 hours later. Detailed examination of these fawns indicated most larvae penetrated the ventral curvature of the abomasum and moved into the mesentery and omentum where some could be found up to 6 days after infection. The subsequent course of larvae was not established conclusively. Small numbers reached the liver and lungs. However, the high incidence of eosinophil infiltrations associated with nerves ventral to the lumbosacral region of the vertebral column suggests worms may migrate directly to the spinal cord from the peritoneal cavity. Evidence for any other route was not obtained. There was no evidence, in this and other published work, that larvae reach the central nervous system before 10 days.

ABSTRACT In gynandromorphs of Drosophila, a detailed examination was made of the association between male courtship behavior and the chromosomal genotype of various parts of the central nervous system. Mosaic flies that behave as males repeatedly show a shorter murtship than normal males. If there is to be male behavior, the posterior dorsal brain must be haplo-X on at least one side for occurrence of the early courtship events. tapping, following of females and wing extension. Licking (proboscis extension) has nearly the same focus but is submissive; that is, male tissue must be present in both left and right dorsal brain. The next courtship step, attempted copulation, has a focus (especially for actual genital contact) located in the thoracic ganglia, though apparently not in a discrete region. Attempted copulation, which can occur even in mosaics with a gravid abdomen, may be correlated with the presence of sex combs. The role of courtship foci are interpreted in terms of known sensory inputs to and functions of the major insect ganglia.

Anterior Regeneration

In 1899 Hallez (4) made the generalisation that the most important difference between the regeneration in Triclad and Polyclad Planarians was to be found in the fact that fragments of the former could regenerate in the absence of the central nervous system, whilst in the latter some portion of the cerebral ganglia must be present in order for regeneration to take place. Child (1) has confirmed the fact that the presence of cerebral ganglia, or at least intact nerve roots, is necessary for regeneration of the anterior end and sense organs of Polyclads. The experimental work by the same and other authors has also established that, among Triclads, the genus Planaria is able to regenerate completely in the absence of cerebral ganglia. The following notes, however, show that in another Triclad genus, namely, Gunda , anterior regeneration is, as in Polyclads, dependent on the presence of the central nervous system. The experiments described below were carried out in the Plymouth Laboratory of the Marine Biological Association during the spring of 1913. I am greatly indebted to the director and staff of the laboratory for constant kindness during the course of my work at Plymouth. I also stand under obligations to the Royal Society, the Zoological Society, and the University of Cambridge for the use of their tables at the Plymouth Laboratory.
