fo liberally fupplied with nerves ; nor do the nerves 
feem neceflfary for any fenfation which can be fup~ 
pofed to belong to the eledi-ric organs. And with 
refpedt to action, there is no part of any animal, with 
which I am acquainted, however ftrong and conftant 
it’s natural adtions may be, which has fo great a~. 
proportion of nerves. 
If it be then probable, that thofe nerves are not. 
neceffary for the purpofes of fenfation, or a&ion,, 
may we not conclude that they are fubfervient to 
the formation, collection, or management of the 
eledtric fluid} efpecially as it appears evident, from. 
Mr. Walfh’s experiments, that the will of the ani- 
mal does abfolutely controul the eledtric powers of 
it’s body } which mull depend on the energy of the 
nerves. 
How far this may be connected with the power 
of the nerves in general, or how far it may lead to 
an explanation of their operations, time and future 
difcoveries alone can fully determine.
