Abstract
1. Experiments have been performed to test the hypothesis that the group II fibres from the secondary endings of the muscle spindle provide an excitatory contribution to the tonic stretch reflex of the decerebrate cat. They have consisted of studying the effect of fusimotor paralysis by procaine, applied to the muscle nerve, on the reflex response to the combined stimuli of stretch (5-9 mm at 5 mm/sec) and of high-frequency vibration (100-150 Hz, 150 μm).
