✦ Synopsis
The contention of F. Wood-Jones ('25) that, if hair is habitually scratched and combed in the wrong way it will in the end produce reversals, led us t o undertake the experiment which is reported in this paper.
The short and straight-haired guinea-pig, Cavia cobaya, was selected, because its skin and hair are both thicker than in any other small animal commonly used in the laboratory.
