Abstract
IF I have understood Prof. Fraser Harris's letter in NATURE of September 9, p. 342, it is a plea for the more widespread use of the term “nerve-energy” by physiologists and for the investigation of it as a special manifestation of energy like heat, light, or electricity. It is no doubt quite true that the term has a definite and useful meaning in psychology and psycho-pathology, though “mental energy” would probably do as well in most cases.
