Résumé : The buccal ganglions of Erpobdella octoculata are described histologically and cytologically. They are constituted by two neuronic follicles containing three different types of neurons. Only one element in each ganglion is cytologically characterized as a neurosecretory cell. The two other types of neurons contain very small granules and may be considered as 'ordinary' neurons.
