 the case of both the males and the females, for example, the 

 average number of errors in the preliminary trial was 11.3, as 

 is indicated by the fact that the curves start at a point whose 

 value is given in the left margin as 11.3. In the second 

 training test the number of errors fell to 3.3 for the males and 

 2.7 for the females. The number of the test is to be found 

 on the base line ; the number of errors in the left margin. If 

 these two curves of learning were carried to their comple- 

 tion, that for the males would end with the thirty-seventh 

 test, and that for the females with the twenty-eighth. 



Time records are not reported for these and subsequent 

 labyrinth tests because they proved to be almost valueless
