Wherever il occurs willi dej^eiierated eiidplates, at (he same time 

 another plausible j^eiiese of that top, to which I alluded ^) before 

 but which I already thought improbable, appears to be inconsistent. 



In the acute experiment one tnight always suppose that owing 

 to the muscle contraction indicated by the first top, the undegene- 

 rated sympathetic endplates in the acute experiment are stimulated 

 in the muscle itself and thus cause the second top by secondary 

 peripheral stimulalion. 



When we take into consideration all the facts published until 

 now on the tonus question in connection with the double innervation 

 of the striped muscles — which van Kijnbeuk neglected — we come 

 to quite a different view from the one van Rijnbkkk has given us 

 in his table. 1 will first reproduce the table of van Rijnbükk, then 

 a similar one, which in my opinion oflTers the right data in this 

 respect. Several of the extraordinary altogether enigmatical contra- 

 dictions from van Rijnbkhk's table have disaj)peared in my table.
