METHODA total of 51 cats was used in this study. Most were anesthetized with Dial-urethane (75 mg./kg.); Nembutal (60 mg./kg.), ether-curare, and ether-decerebrate preparations, when tried, yielded similar results. Operative procedures began with tracheal cannulation followed by reflection of the muscles of the head and neck to permit bilateral isolation of the external auditory meatus and a clear view of both bullas. Each meatus was then cut across and a brass tube to which an earphone was attached inserted into it. These tubes, when adjusted, both held the head fixed as do the earplugs of a Horsley-Clarke apparatus, and permitted a clear sound path from earphone to eardrum. Each bulla was then opened so as to expose the round window,. upon which a silver wire was placed. The occipital bone over the cerebellum was then removed and sufficient cerebellum suctioned out to reveal the floor of the fourth ventricle upon which the shock electrodes, controlled by a manipulator graduated in 1 mm. steps, were placed.
