Additional information

The writer is grateful to the University of Rochester, and to Professor B. H.Willier, for the hospitality of the Biological Laboratories, in which this work was conducted. He is further indebted to Dr.Willier for his great generosity with materials and apparatus, his toleration of a most trying colleague and his benevolent scepticism which has done so much for the logical development of this paper. The unique manipulative ability and kindly teaching of Dr.Mary Rawles have placed the writer under great obligations to her. His largest debt, however, is to his wife who has typed abstracts of, and reduced to such order as their nature made possible, some fifteen hundred papers on “electrical effects”: this has made it necessary for the writer only to read a few hundred in the original and has immeasurably simplified the task of selecting the short bibliography listed below.
