The similarity with the muscle is also evident during the activity of the completely-developed organ; for just as the muscle in a single twitch gives only a brief current, so in the electric organ the current is momentary, although of incomparably greater Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Verworn, Max, 1863-1921; Lee, Frederic S.
