Abstract
ON Tuesday, June 6, Prof. McKendrick delivered in the Lecture Room of the New Museums, Oxford, the annual Boyle Lecture, the subject being the perception of musical tone. The lecture was entirely devoted to a consideration of the functions of the cochlea, the minute anatomy of which was fully described. The internal ear consists of a complicated series of sacs and tubes filled with fluid. In certain situations the walls of the sacs contain highly differentiated epithelial structures, which are intimately related to the terminal filaments of the auditory nerve.
