“Nor was I guilty of the want of taste and judgment with which she
(Miss Cobbe) taunts me and English physiologists in general, of
exonerating themselves at the expense of their continental confrères.
‘Unquestionably’ I said ‘there have been brutal things done by
physiologists, _never_ as far as I am aware by English and _very rarely_
by continental physiologists.’”--_Manchester Guardian_, Feb. 13, 1883.

“15th February, 1878.--Terrier bitch, quite young, weighs 7½ kilogrammes

placed under left crural nerve. Morphia and curare given. Artificial
respiration.” &c.
“31st January, 1878.--Dog, weight 8 kilogrammes (about 17⅔ lbs.). Morphia
and curare. Artificial respiration. Right extensor vein and right crural
nerve prepared.” &c.
“20th February, 1878.--Terrier bitch, weight 6¼ kilo (about 13¾ lbs.).
Morphia given. Left extensor vein prepared, and left crural nerve cut
and ligatured at 4.2 p.m. Between 3.40 and 4.7 p.m., 0·015 grms. curare
were injected into jugular vein; artificial respiration.” &c.
“February 18, 1878.--Large sheep dog, weight 20·5 kilo, (about 45¼ lbs.).

“March 4, 1878.--Spaniel bitch, weight 13¾ kilo, (about 30¼ lbs.). After
the termination of the curve given in Fig. 3, 0·06 grms. curare were
injected into the jugular vein; artificial respiration was performed,
and the left crural nerve was laid free.” &c.--“Further Researches on
