When a tendon is tapped, and its muscle contracts, the occurrencehas so much the aspect of a true reflex action that it was assumed bymost investigators to be such, the stimulus being the excitation of nervesin the tendon. This view received apparent confirmation by the dis-covery of certain facts : (1) That there are nerves in tendon. (2) Thatthese phenomena depend for their occurrence on the integrity of thereflex path to, through, and from the spinal cord, and are arrested bya lesion in this path. By experiments on animals (in whom similarcontractions maybe obtained) it has been found that they are preventedby division of the nerves t
