| Comments |
P.354 bottom paragraph: "In two striking papers (primary sources) Johnstone confirmed Sabin's observations that heart beats appeared first in the ventricle and showed also that by the third day of development, when the sino-atrial end of the heart had been definitely established, it assumed the lead in maintaining the cardiac rhythm." |
