B. DIRECT EXCITATION. A pad of the cat's foot, cut off 1 to 48 hours after death, and set up between unpolarisable electrodes as previously described (loc. cit., p. 481), generally manifests a small and gradually increasing ingoing normal current, not exceeding, as a rule, 0-0100 volt. With lapse of time this current gradually falls again. It is noteworthy that its direction (ingoing) is from the intact external surface towards the injured cut surface
