Origin of the Canal Organs. The discussion of the origin and growth of the sensory thickenings from which the different lines of the lateral system arise, and the origin of the sense-organs along these lines, lies wholly beyond the scope of the present paper, but the order and manner of their appearance, as determined from surface examinations, lies fairly within it. Most of the specimens used in this part of the work were killed in picro-sulphuric acid or chromic acid, with, or without, a trace of osmic, or in the vapor of osmic acid, and then transferred to chromic. Chromic acid was found to emphasize the continuity of the whitish lines which represent the sensory tissues, while picro-sulphuric produced a somewhat opposite effect, making evident a want of continuity, or at least a difference in the composition of the lines in those places where the innervation changes. Freshly killed specimens were found to give much the best results, for the use of alcohol obscured the markings which in certain places are indistinct even in the best preparations. In fishes just hatched, the lines of the infra-orbital, supra-orbital, and lateral line canals are the only ones that can be distinguished. They are all represented by short, straight, raised lines of about the same length. That of the lateral canal starts immediately above the opercular opening, and those of the other two close together (if not from a common point), immediately behind the eye and directed, like the arms of a letter V, one above and the other below it. In somewhat older specimens the infra-orbital line extends under the eye to the level of the hind...

Book Description
The Lateral Line System provides an overview of the key concepts and issues surrounding the development, evolution, neurobiology, and function of the lateral line, a fascinating yet somewhat enigmatic flow-sensing system. The book examines the historical precedence for linking the auditory and lateral line systems, its structure and development, use of the lateral line system of zebrafish as a model system, physical principles governing the response properties of the lateral line, the behavioral relevance of this sensory system to the lives of fish, and an examination of how this information is shaped and encoded by the peripheral and central nervous systems.

Book Description
This volume represents the published proceedings of an international conference on the Neurobiology and Evolution of the Mechanosensory Lateral Line System held August 31 to September 4, 1987, at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research at the University of Bielefeld, West Germany. The goal of this confer ence was to bring together researchers from all over the world to share informa tion about a major aquatic sensory system, the evolution and function of which have largely remained an enigma since the 18th century. The "lateral line" or "lateralis" system has been used as an umbrella term to describe what originally (without the aid of modern anatomical techniques) looked like a series of pits, grooves, and lines on the head and trunk of fishes and some amphibians. For at least the past 30 years, however, it has been recognized that the lateralis system comprises not one, but at least two functional classes of receptors: mechanoreceptors and electroreceptors. The relative ease with which the appropriate stimulus could be defined and measured for the electroreceptive class has resulted in an explosion of information on this submodality during the past 20 years. As a result, there is little ambiguity about the overall function of the electrosensory system, now generally regarded as an independent system in its own right. A similarly clear definition for the function of the mechanosensory lateralis system has not been as forthcoming.
