 power of equilibrium with removal of the mid-brain

 ment, during the breeding-season the body of the 

 male frog between the skull and fourth vertebra em- 

 braces every rigid object with which it is brought into 

 contact. G.'s Static-theory, every position of 

 the head causes the endolymph of the semicircular 

 canals to exert the greatest pressure upon some part of 

 the canals, thus in varying degree exciting the nerve- 

 terminations of the ampullae.
