Comparison of 

 the last five 



cases 



It is interesting to compare the intensities of the several 

 tones in the last five cases, all representing the combination 8 plus 

 5 of stirrup movement, but differing in the 

 relative amplitudes of 8 and 5. The table con- 

 tains the percentages of the five preceding ta- 

 bles. The first two columns show the ra- 

 tio of the amplitudes of the stirrup movements of 8 and 5 

 For example, in the first case this ratio is as 3:1 or seventy- 

 five to twenty-five ; in the fifth case as 1:3 or twenty-five to 

 seventy-five. The columns to the right contain the relative 

 intensities of the several tones calculated under the provisional 

 assumptions. 



We notice that the tone S decreases in intensity from 56.6 

 to 42.7, to 16.1, to 13.4. and finally disappears entirely. This 

 latter case, however, does not mean that now the tone 5 is
