In supplying the heart withblood through the vessels of Thebesius the circulation was at all timesvery small — in many cases, even, hardly measurable. In the ex-periment of April I, there can have been scarcely more than a mereoozing of blood in and out between the coronary veins and theventricular cavity through the vessels of Figure 3. From a cats heart fed from the interior of the right ventricle, April i, one hour after removal of the heart from the body. The upper curve wasdrawn by means of a Marey tambour connected with the cannula in the right ven-tricle. The lower curve gives the time in seconds. The discussion of the nutrition of the heart through the vessels ofThebesius leads now to the consideration of a somewhat strikinganalogy. It is known that the heart of the frog receives almost itsentire nutriment through the branching passages that carry the bloodfrom the interior of the heart nearly to the pericardial surface. Myexperiments have shown that the heart of the cat may be nourishedin much the same way; there is, indeed, a marked resemblance inboth method and results between my experiments and many whichhave heretofore been performed on the heart of the frog. The sim-plicity of this method of nutrition, as well as its value in bringing themammalian
