Stimulation at 1 was 8 cm.and at 2 15 cm. above line of section. In the case of 2 the wave of inhibition passesthrough two transections. pearance of a small portion of the transection after being treatedwith the gold chloride. Fibres may be seen crossing the scar tissueand entering the plexuses on either side. The findings just men-tioned were exactly duplicated in two of the other dogs. No trac-ing was taken from Dog No. 2 because of some question as to theexact location of the transection, the recognition stitches for somereason having disappeared. The transected portions of all fourdogs gave many examples of nerve fibres extending across the scars.The number of axones passing across amounts in itself almost to ademonstration of plexus regeneration. Fig. 5 is a tracing from DogNo. 4, one hundred and twenty-two days after transection. Theballoo
