    leader in physiology whose work and ideas for many years dominated the labours of English physiologists. It is to him above all others that we owe our present knowledge of what he terms ‘‘the involuntary nervous system,” and it was fitting that an account by him of his life’s work should form the initial volume of this series of English monographs. In all his work Gaskell was never content with the mere record of a new fact. The ever-recurring question was “What does this mean?” and the search after the meaning of phenomena led him to wide generalizations, parts of which indeed may not stand with future investi¬ gation, but all of which have served and will serve as a beacon lig-ht in revealing problems and showing the way of research to those working in allied branches of the subject.
