8. The same effect. 



9. Increase of sweat. 



10. The same effect. 



11. The same effect. 



12. The same effect. 



13. The motor nerves, after death, re- 



remain notably longer excitable 

 there. 



14. The muscles, after death, remain 



much longer contractile there. 



15. The same effect. 



16. The same effect (more marked). 



8. Absorption more rapid. 



9. Increase of sweat and other secre- 



tions. 



10. Reflex movements last longer there 



than elsewhere, after death. 



11. After poisoning by strychnia, the 



first convulsions lake place. 



12. A galvanic current too weak to 



excite contraction elsewhere, may 

 act there. 



13. The motor nerves, after death, re- 



main longer excitable there than 

 on the other side. 



14. The muscles, after death, remain 



longer contractile there than on 

 the other side. 



15. The contractility of blood-vessels 



is greater and lasts longer there. 



16. The galvanic muscular current (as 



ascertained with the rheoscopic 

 frog) is stronger and lasts longer 

 there than on the other side. 



17. Cadaveric rigidity appears later 



there than on the other side, and 

 it lasts longer. 



18. It is easier to regenerate there than 



on the other side the vital pro- 

 perties of nerves and muscles by 

 injections of red blood, a short 

 time after they have disappeared. 



19. Putrefaction comes on later, and 



seems to progress more slowly 

 there than on the other side. 



All these effects, in the two cases, seem to be produced in the 

 following manner : There is a paralysis of the vascular nerves and 

 therefore a paralysis of the blood-vessels; in consequence of this 

 paralysis, the blood arrives in larger quantity and therefore the tem- 

 perature is higher ; nutrition is increased, and, in consequence, the 

 vital properties of nerves, muscles and blood-vessels are augmented. 

 Other causes contribute to the increase of the vital properties of 

 nerves and muscles in the posterior limb after section of a lateral half 

 of the spinal cord ; among them I may point out the influence of the 



17. Cadaveric rigidity appears notably 



later there than elsewhere and 

 lasts longer.
