Conclusions. 



131 



normal group is zero, but there were two, one of them Subject VI, who 

 showed minus differences and 4 men plus differences. This is a real 

 disagreement between the series, as is also that with the patellar reflex 

 A', 30 grams, where Subject VI was the one man in 6 who had a plus per- 

 centile difference. These disagreements in the direction of the alcohol

Measurements. 



Inferior functioning: 



Patellar reflex, amplitude of secondary (A') with 50- 

 gram blow 



Mean variation of eye-reaction time
