Add to ORKGIn previous papers (Roberts, 1962 a, b) the earthworm's rapid response, mediated through the giant-fibre reflex, was described and analysed. In the course of these experiments it was noticed that in the early stages of repetitive stimulation successive responses do not remain the same size but show a marked tendency to increase i
