Abstract
Abstract If the following remarks venture to devise for reflex inhibition yet another schema additional to the several existent, they do so with full recognition of the value and service of schemes already (4, 13, 14, 17, 22, 42) in the field. A complex problem, however, may be helped by offer of alternative suggestions. Dealing with the well-known schema originating from Keith Lucas (42), and developed with such notable advantage to the subject by Adrian and Forbes, Adrian himself has very recently (4) summarised the present position of the problem and main views obtaining on it. Here, therefore, it may be permitted to proceed without further preface to the scheme which it is sought to offer for consideration.

The vastocrureus muscle, when de-afferented by severance of the particular afferent spinal roots through which its afferent fibres reach the spinal cord, reacts in the decerebrate animal differently from the muscle with afferent nerve intact, and this indicates, as has been pointed out, that proprioceptive reflexes normally fuse with other reflexes as adjuvant to them.

It was found that each of the upper seven thoracic nerves-i.e. each of those which send nerve fibres to the cervical sympathetic-produced with considerable exactness its normal and characteristic effect, and had again become connected with the nerve cells of the superior cervical ganglion.

A single induction shock even when weak applied to a suitable afferent nerve evokes with regularity a reflex contraction in an appropriately chosen muscle to serve as a test reaction for the condition of a reflex arc.

The whole object of that investigation was to find out whether any electrical change could be demonstrated in the muscular tissue of the auricle of the tortoise as the effect of the stimulation of the vagus nerve when that auricle was not beating.

There is evidence, to be published in detail later, showing that fatigue as demonstrated in both excitatory and inhibitory arcs does not involve the centre as a whole, but only the particular path employed, and possible explanations of “subsequent augmentation” and “Subsequent depression” are discussed.

Cohnheim, the pioneer of what has been sometimes termed physiological pathology, died in 1884 at the early age of forty-five, and the preface to his collected works contains a charmingly written memoir of him from the pen of his friend W. Kühne, the accomplished Heidelberg physiologist.
