PROCEEDINGS OF LEARNED SOCIETIES. 
ROYAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 
Wy R. Wocttaston being appointed to 
read the last Croonian lecture, 
commenced his discourse, by observing 
that the remarks which he had to offer 
on the occasion might be thought to bear 
tuo little direct relation to each other for 
Insertion in the same lecture, yet that 
any observation respecting the mode of 
action of voluntary muscles, and every 
enquiry into the causes which derange, 
and into the means of assisting, the activa 
of the heart and blood-vessels, must be 
allowed to promote the design of Dr. 
Croone, who had instituted these annual 
disquisitions, He accordingly divided 
his discourse into three parts: viz. on 
the ‘ duration of vuluntary action ;” on 
** the origin of sea-sickness,” as arising 
from a simple mechanical cause, derang- 
ing the circulation of the blood; and 
then he endeavours to explain the advan- 
tage derived from riding, and other mades 
Montary Mac, No, 204, 
of gestation, in assisting the health under 
various circumstances, in preference to 
every species of actual exertion. 
In speaking of the duration of muscu- 
lar action, he observes, that besides the 
necessity of occasional intermissions frona 
a series of laborious exertions, and the 
fatigue of continuing the effort of any one 
voluntary muscle without intermission, 
which are obvious to every person, there 
is a third view of the subject, viz. that 
each effort, though apparently single, 
consists in reality of a number of con- 
tractions repeated at extremely short in- 
tervals, so short that the intermediate ree 
laxations cannot be visible, unless pro- 
longed beyond the usual limits by a-state 
of partial or general debility. ‘The ex- 
istence of these alternate motions he in- 
fers from a sensation perceptible upon 
inserting the extremity of the finger into 
the ear, because a sound is then perceived 
which resembles that of carriages at a 
distance passing rapidly over a pavement,
