Description
Summary:The discrepancies in the statements made by various observers on the structure, as illustrated by the history of the development, of striated muscular fibre, have induced the author to submit the question to a renewed and independent investigation. He has examined the process in the tadpole, the chick, the sheep, and in man, and with results which correspond very closely in all these classes. The investigation is most easy in the tadpole, as the early structures are of much larger size; but observations are made with a comparatively greater precision when high magnifying powers are employed.
