(Gotch.) tion). We should anticipate that the discharge of an organ- preparation provoked by excitation of the nerve would be sufficient to excite directly a second preparation in the same circuit. The accompanying schemata (Fig. 278) show that there must then be either summation or subtraction of the galvanometer effect. That this is actually the case has been proved by Gotch with the spring-rheotorne. The alteration (augmentation or diminution) of the galvanometer effect caused by the discharge of the nerve-organ preparation appears regularly about O'Ol' after the maximum of the discharge.
