AB  - 1. The reversed vascular effect of chorda tympani stimulation under the influence of amyl-nitrite, which was described by Fröhlich and Loewi, was confirmed. It is considered that the diminished outflow of blood from the glandular vein under these circumstances may be due not only to the passage of fluid from the blood into the saliva, but to other causes as well. 2. After large doses of physostigmine, stimulation of the chorda tympani diminishes the secretion and the outflow of blood from the submaxillary gland. Since the salivary secretion was also diminished, this phenomenon could not be the result of the loss of fluid from the blood to the saliva.
