| Description | The object of the research is to connect more closely clinical signs with pathological changes in the medulla by localising in the floor of the fourth ventricle the 'centres' which influence circulation and respiration.
Annotations in pencil and ink throughout. Note reads 'A large majority of the expenses of the this investigation were defrayed by a grant from the British Medical Association. The experiments were performed at the Brown Institution'. Includes six pages of figures.
