“has shown—Proceedings Royal Society—that the passage of the 
larynx is closed by the movements of the arytenoid cartilages, and 
the investigation has extended ta all classes of animals. (5.) Con- 
tributions to the physiology of the chest—he has shown that the 
form of the chest in man is to be explained as the result of 
gravitation. Also that in forced efforts it is not necessary to close 
the larynx in order to make the chest rigid, since this can be 
accomplished by muscular effort alone.— Proceedings Physiélogical 
Society. He has also designed apparatus to demonstrate :—(1).
