Abstract
I DO not think that the following remarkable observation has hitherto been made—or at least recorded—by anyone ; but as I am at present deprived of access to books, it is possible that I may be mistaken upon this point. It will be observed that it tends experimentally to confirm the opinion of Agassiz, M'Crady, and Fritz Müller, as to the presence of ganglionic centres in the situations they describe.
