Abstract
IN sequence to his books on response in the living and non-living (1902) and plant response (1906), Prof. Chunder Bose has published a third volume on comparative electro-physiology. Prof. Bose has great ingenuity in device of experimental apparatus, fertility in initiating new lines of observation, and a clear style of setting forth his experimental results and theoretical deductions; nevertheless, we feel far from satisfied with his performance. He strives constantly to group every result he obtains under “some property of matter common and persistent in the living and non-living substance,” and to explain by this assumed common underlying property the diverse phenomena of response which occur in metal wires, plant and animal tissues, on mechanical, thermal, or electrical excitation.
