Abstract
IN a letter in NATURE1 and subsequent communication to the Journal of Physiology2 there was described, with experimental verification, the principles controlling the accumulation of potassium in isolated muscle. This accumulation could occur to a considerable extent without volume change, and the theoretical position established led naturally to an explanation of the potassium content of the original muscle. Further aspects were considered in later communications3, 5, Prof. F. G. Donnan also contributing6, 7.
