    1. Contains a variety of charts showing percentage of sympathetic and sensory fibers at various points in the cat hindlimb.  HRP stain applied to the cell bodies of sympathetic axons projecting to skin and skeletal muscle of the cat hindlimb.  Table 4 has some interesting percentages for different nerve types.
