The nerve was now removed from the moist chamber and placed in a large quantity (2 litres) of 
tap water, in which it was immersed for ten minutes. At the end of this time the nerve was removed, 
dried in filter paper and replaced in position in the moist chamber. A re-examination was then made of 
the potential differences between the upper cross section and points upon the longitudinal surface.
