Electron microscopical examination of corneal nerves in rhesus and cynomolgous monkeys revealed that limbal, subepithelial nerves gained direct access to the corneal epithelium. Epithelial axons occurred singly and infrequently and they were confined to the basal layer of cells. All nerves of the stroma terminated within the layer and rami perforans were not found. The apparent barrier to nerve passage presented by Bowman's layer in monkeys was discussed in relation to primates in general. The isolation of stromal and epithelial nerve fibres confirms that terminals occur in both layers and their respective potential for excitation was briefly discussed.
对恒河猴和食蟹猴角膜神经的电子显微镜检查显示，角膜缘的上皮下神经可直接进入角膜上皮。上皮轴突单独出现且很少见，它们局限于细胞的基底层。基质中的所有神经都在该层内终止，未发现穿通支。结合一般灵长类动物讨论了猴中鲍曼层对神经通过所呈现的明显屏障。基质和上皮神经纤维的分离证实了终末存在于这两层中，并简要讨论了它们各自的兴奋潜力。
