Abstract
THE exercises and demonstrations contained in this and the two preceding parts are primarily intended to facilitate class work in physiology, and for use in conjunction with such a text-book as the author's “Introduction to Human Physiology.” The present part contains sixty-eight instructive experiments on the physiology of the nervous system, and descriptions of the instruments used in investigations in electro-physiology generally. The subject is one which the author has made peculiarly his own; so that the experimental details will be found sufficient to enable students and demonstrators to set up the required apparatus satisfactorily and obtain good results. The book affords a strong argument for the teaching of the principles of physics to students of physiology; for without this fundamental knowledge it would be impossible to perform the experiments intelligently.
