being put in contad with Bennet’s eledro- 
meter, produced a divergency of half an 
inch in the gold leaf. We then applied it 
to a flip of tin foil, which was in contad 
with the crural nerves of a prepared frog 
placed upon a glafs plate. The eledricity, 
by means of this arrangement, and a fimi- 
lar condudor communicating from the 
extremity of the feet to the earth, was 
confined to pafs through the limbs. The 
right nerves were tied by a ligature clofe 
to the mufcles, and the left by a ligature 
at fome diflance from them. The right 
leg remained motionlefs, the other ex¬ 
hibited fome flight commotions. 
Experiment XXXII. 
The phial was charged fo, that at the 
diflance of three inches from the eledro- 
meter, it caufed a divergency of half an 
inch. The experiment being repeated as 
before, the left leg alone was convulfed 
feveral times.
