Abstract
IN a letter under the above heading (NATURE, April 13, 1929) Prof. Hans Molisch describes certain experiments which appear to confirm the earlier work of Sir J. C. Bose. Space does not permit of a full discussion of these results, but it is rather surprising to find that Prof. Molisch regards the experiment of Bose on the supposed reflex arc as satisfactory evidence, since the fallacy in this experiment has already been demonstrated by K. Umrath (Planta, 5, 1928, p. 295, footnote).
