JFiG. 2. — Diagram to indicate the extent of the parts still retaining sensitivity after 

 the spinal (upper figure) and combined spinal and vagosympathetic (lower 

 figure) nerve sections described in the text, pp. 393, 396. The extent of skin 

 surface left sentient is delimited by the continuous (not dotted) lines in the 

 figures. The limit of " deep," i.e., muscular, articular, &c., sensitivity also 

 corresponds with this line. But the limit to which the respiratory and ali- 

 mentary tracts still retained sensation is shown by dotted outlines of the lungs, 

 heart, and stomach in the upper figure, of the larynx and upper part of 

 oesophagus in the lower figure. From anatomical data it is presumed that 

 the trachea and oesophagus had been deprived of all sensitivity somewhere 

 about those levels. The curved line behind the chest indicates the diaphragm 

 as the only muscle behind the shoulder still retaining afferent nerves.
