INTRODUCTION 
Of late years the term ‘regulation’ has come into such general 
use and has neen applied to so wide a range of organic phenom- 
ena, that it seems desirable to attempt a general consideration 
and analysis of the regulatory processes from the present view- 
point of physiology. Tne biologist who takes the position that 
there is at the present time, when the investigation and analysis 
of the physics and chemistry of the organic processes is still only
