The response to both directions of excitation is outgoing ; it is greater to tetanising currents than to single shocks ; it is greater the day after death than on the day of death ; it is abolished by immersion in hot water, the small residual deflections observed being such as would be caused by ordinary polarisation.

The 24-hour responses were recorded as under ; they were through- out of outgoing direction, by both directions of single break currents, and by both pairs of directions of tetanisation.
