On stimulating the w^eighted muscle, it passes fairly quickly (after A Cross-Striated Mammalian Muscle Preparation .SH5. 386 MDowall a latent period of about 04 second) into the contracted condition; butrelaxation occurs only very gradually and occupies a long time (fig. 2). 4. In consequence of the length of the relaxation period, the summationof stimuli can be produced and tetanus obtained by excitations which recurat unusually long intervals (fig. 3). 5. Within limits the amount of contraction is proportional to the
