Abstract
IN my communication to NATURE (vol. xxix. p. 528) I described the use of alternating currents and the telephone for the above purpose, and promised to endeavour to obtain at least an approximate measurement of the E.M.F. developed in the secondary coil of an induction apparatus. This promise I now propose to fulfil. But before proceeding to the special subject of the present note, I should wish to draw attention to a paper which appeared on the 15th of the same month in the Asclepiad, by that able experimentalist Dr. B. W. Richardson. He therein describes not only experiments made with the large induction coil of the Polytechnic, but also others made as early as 1868 in conjunction with the late Mr. Becker, the object of which was to obtain a measure of the resistance of animal structures.
