=====Observations on the Muscular Tissue of the Skin=====
His next paper, an investigation into [[goose bumps]],{{sfn|Wrench|1913|p=31}}{{sfn|Lister|1853b}} was published on 1 June 1853 in the same journal.{{sfn|Godlee|1924|p=23}} Lister was able to confirm Kölliker's experimental finding that in humans the [[smooth muscle]] fibres are responsible for making hair stand out from the skin, in contrast to other mammals, whose large tactile hairs are associated with [[striated muscle]].{{sfn|Howard|2013|p=193}} Lister also demonstrated a new method of creating histological sections from the tissue of the scalp.{{sfn|Godlee|1924|pp=23-24}}

Lister's microscopy skills were so advanced that he was able to correct the observations of German histologist [[Friedrich Gustav Jakob Henle|Friedrich Gustav Henle]], who mistook small blood vessels for [[muscle fibres]].{{sfn|Lister|1853b|pp=6-7}} In each of the papers, he created camera lucida drawings so accurate that they could be used to scale and measure the observations.{{sfn|Godlee|1924|p=23}}

Both papers attracted significant attention in Britain and abroad.{{sfn|Godlee|1924|p=24}} Naturalist [[Richard Owen]], an old friend of Lister's father, was particularly impressed by them.{{sfn|Godlee|1924|p=24}} Owen contemplated recruiting Lister for his department and forwarded him a thank-you letter on 2 August 1853.{{sfn|Godlee|1924|p=24}} Kölliker was particularly pleased with the analysis that Lister had formulated. Kölliker made many trips to Britain, and eventually met Lister. They became life-long friends.{{sfn|Godlee|1924|p=24}} Their close friendship was described in a letter by Kölliker on 17 November 1897, that [[Rickman Godlee]] chose to use to illustrate their relationship.{{sfn|Godlee|1924|p=25}} Kölliker sent a letter to Lister when he was president of the [[Royal Society]], congratulating him on receiving the Copley medal, fondly remembering old friends who had died, and celebrating his time in Scotland with Syme and Lister. Kölliker was 80 years old at the time.{{sfn|Godlee|1924|p=25}}
