Abstract
SOME of your readers may remember that a few months ago I published in NATURE an abstract of a lecture which I had delivered at the Royal Institution on “The Evolution of Nerves.” In this lecture I mainly treated of my recent researches on the nervous system of Medusœ; and stated, among other things, that I was the first to publish the observation concerning the paralysing effect of removing the margins of nectocalyces.1 Within the last few days, however, I have received a communication from Prof. Eimer, of Tübingen, informing me that he has the right to claim priority as regards the publishing of this observation. I therefore send you this note in order that I may rectify the injustice which I previously did to Dr. Eimer in your columns.
