Abstract
There is a remarkable remnant of primitive fibres persisting at the sino-auricular junction in all mammalian hearts. These fibres are in close connection with the vagus and sympathetic nerves, and have a special arterial supply; in them the dominating rhythm of the heart is believed to normally arise.
