Description

Sectional committee: Physiology

Recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions, in full. Some of the microphotographs need not be reproduced with the selection of one or two being left to the author. It is an excellent paper founded on laborious and valuable investigation which marks a distinct step in the progress of knowledge on a very difficult subject. It abounds with hard facts and exact measurements.

[Published in Philosophical Transactions B, 1900].

Endorsed on verso as received 23 May 1900.
