✦ Synopsis

In the course of studies on the discharge of the Amazonian eel, we have observed some interesting phenomena which form the subject of the present note. They have to do with : (a) the distribution of potential and the polai-itjT of the discharge along the eel; (b) the velocity of the electric pulse and its direction ; (c) the characteristics of the elementary discharge.

a. During the discharge we have observed an equipotential point (Chagas, '39) readily detected by the types of oscillograph connections, represented in the diagrams here prc-Aided by a grant of the Rockefeller Foundation

It is well known that the discharge of an electrically charged hydrocarbon liquid need not follow an exponential law. The present paper shows that this process can still be correctly described mathematically with the aid of Ohm's Law. Recently a new theory for static relaxation has been put forward
