Foreign Biological Memoirs

Abstract

THIS volume is the firstfruits of a scheme which was started some years ago. The original intention was to translate and put before English readers as soon as possible after their publication the most important foreign papers on various biological subjects. Owing to various difficulties, the original scheme had to be altered, with the result that the first volume of the proposed series has taken the form of the present book.

Translations of Foreign Biological Memoirs.

Vol. 1. Memoirs on the Physiology of Nerve, of Muscle, and of the Electrical Organ. Edited by J. Burdon-Sanderson. (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1887.)
