Abstract
SOME time after the publication of Shafiq's papers1 on the nerve cells of the locust, Prof. Vishwa Nath asked me to undertake a comprehensive study of the Golgi material in the nerve cells of invertebrates and vertebrates. I have just completed my investigations on the thoracic neurones of the locust, Schistocerca gregaria Forsk., and the local water-bug, Laccotrephes rubra. My observations are based on the study of neurones of the fifth instar and immature adults of locust and adult water-bugs.
