| Title | Paper, 'The cranial nerves of the torpedo. Preliminary note' by J C [James Cossar] Ewart |
| Date | 1890 |
| Description | Ewart writes: 'The cranial nerves of the torpedo agree in their general arrangement with those of the skate. The ophthalmicus profundus occupies the usual position, but its ganglion lies in close contact with the Gasserian, and not on a level with the ciliary, ganglion. The trigeminus has the usual distribution, for, notwithstanding the statements in the most recent text-books, the trigeminus sends no branch to the electric organ.'
