Tin- time during which the muscle was kept in Ringer's solution before the experiment was started is not immaterial to its reaction in reference to the recovery contracture. Thus it was found that soaking tin- muscle for 24 hours in Ringer's solution increases its tendency to react with recovery contracture even if the muscle is kept in a moist chamber during the recovery period. This may be illustrated by Fig. 8. The first curve showed a typical although very slight recovery. I [G. x. Both s;irtorii soaked for 24 hours in Ringer's solution.
