Exp. 18. (L. Gastroc). Oct. 8, 1906. Room temp. 16° C. Responses of the 

 right gastrocnemius to excitation of the right sciatic had first been 

 recorded with the cord normal. They showed a reflex effect when the 

 stimuli was 5000 units in strength ; none when it was 1000 units. 

 After preparing the left gastrocnemius and recording two responses to 

 excitation of the left sciatic, neither of which (though the strengths 

 were 5000 and 10,000 units) showed a reflex effect, 1 minim 0"1 per 

 cent. liq. strych. was subcutaneously injected. Records taken I hour 

 later. 



All the effects (direct and reflex) were weak.
