MICROSCOPICAL investigation of the nervous centres in 

 man, after death from Hydrophobia, have as yet revealed 

 nothing therein as specially characteristic of this malady. 

 I have thought, however, that an additional record of nearly 

 negative results may not be without a relative value in the history 

 of the disease. I have therefore availed myself of the opportunity 

 open to me by the present from a friend of a portion of posterior 

 convolution, from a case of undoubtedly genuine hydrophobia. 

 My lamented friend, the late Dr. Lockhart Clarke, once placed 

 in my hands, for examination, a spinal cord from a case of hydro- 

 phobia, in which only deep red colour w^as observable by the
