Description

Sectional Committee: Physiology

Still feels his comments on the paper are justified, but were mostly suggestions to be taken forward for future publications, as applying them to the current paper would be time consuming. Has no objection to publication of the paper in its present form. Still feels the detail of the experimental part could be condensed.

Note by Archibald Vivian Hill requests publication now.
