SoNtr curious Galvanic experiment!: were matte
on Frick), laq by Professor ALI.)r, I, in Di. PEAk-
SON'S Letture ROOMS. ,They were by far more in-
teresting and satisfaClory than any we have yet
noticed, owing to the pains taken to procure the
fittest subjeCts for the operations. They wereinsti.
tuted in the presence of General Amottaossr, Lord
PR LH AM, Duke ofROXtItIRGH,LOrd CAM. ER SAGH,
Lord HRRVRY, the Hon Mr. UPTON, Mr. CtioLa
MOND E LY, Mr. ANCHORA, Mr. ELLIOT, and sevc_
rat other Gentlemen of rank. The Professor was
assisted ably, as on former occasions, by Mr. CAR.
PUE, Mr. CUTHBARTSON, and Mr. HUTCHINS.

Among other important fans, it was decisively
shewn,
That a vital attradion subsists between. a nerve and
tbr the sifspended sciatic nerves of a frog, after de-,
taching the siline, being brdtrght near the intercostal mosCles
of a dog, while the Assistant who held the frog did, with his
other hand, touch the muscles of the thigh of the.4i,.(thus
forminka Circle); in this situation,. the nerves suspendetkit*..
proached;', and came into contad witlf:the tnuscle, as evj.
dently as* silken thread is attraeled:by sealing wax.
a. The heart of a,. rabbit was excited to- .aCtion in alit tic
time after the, animal was killed; but vitality disappeared
Much sooner than in the other museleS, so that this-organ is
the primer r and not as H.% a VEY asserted, the ultintAint moiens.
'Chi lungs,' liver, and spleen could not he excited to action,
even immediately after the animal was killed. .
3. The most important fad of all,: was that of exciting
conrraaions by making a circle of nerycs and muscles °Nit-
ferent animals, without any Metallic exciter or condudors.
4*. The head of an ox; rcetitly decapitated, exhibited
tonishiug effects : fOr the tongue being drawn out by alot*
fixed into it, on apply;n„; tin:exciters
.in spite of the strength-
of the Assistant, the tongue was retracted, so as :to detach it-
self, by tearing itself from the hook
~• at the same time a loud
from noise issued fro the theist h by the alwption of air, attend-
ed by violent contortions of the whole head and eyes.
