METHOD Preparation. Various skeletal muscles of the frog, Rana temporaria, were used. The m. rectus abdominis and m. sartorius served as the experimental material in preliminary experiments in which mechanical responses alone were recorded. For recording electric potential changes the m. sartorius and m. extensor longus digiti quarti were used. Extreme care had to be taken in the dissection for those experiments in which electrical recording was employed. Visible damage of only a few fibres caused an appreciable negativity to appear at the injured region. All such injured muscles had to be discarded.There appeared to be no difference in the results obtained with winter and summer frogs. The experiments were carried out at room temperature, varying between 14 and 210 C. Apparatus. The experimental arrangement employed with the sartorius for the simultaneous recording of electrical and mechanical changes has already been described (Fatt, 1949). In all other experiments the muscle was mounted vertically in a glass chamber so constructed that bathingsolutions could be changed through a connexion at the bottom of the vessel. The mechanical response was recorded by attaching the thread tied to the tendon at one end of the muscle to an isotonic lever.
