On the electrical phemomena of the excitatory process in the heart of the frog and of the tortoise, as investigated photographically.

Publication Details

J. Physiol. (Lond.), 4, 327-38. 1883 CE–1884 CE.

See No. 824. This paper contains several tracings of the heart's electrical activity recorded with a capillary electrometer, the earliest graphic recorder of bioelectric signals. These were the "first undistorted tracings of the electrical activity of the heart" (Burch & Depasquale, A history of electrocardiography, 1990, 102).
