No explanation of these peculiar associations could be offered. 

 Each person arose in a distinct mental image whenever the cor- 

 responding digit was thought of. One notices, of course, that we 

 have here the prevailing types of mankind as seen by a young 

 girl. I have recently found another case quite similar. Here, 

 also, the subject is a young woman, and she can give no ex- 

 planation of the origin of her associations. In hearing or read- 

 ing long numbers rapidly, she says that she does not have time 

 to see the mental pictures, but single numbers, especially if 

 written by herself, instantly call them up. The associations are 

 as follows : 



1 is without definite character, as is also 8, with the exception 

 that the former reminds me of a short person, and the latter of a 

 very stout person, but neither has sex or other characteristics. 



2 is always a graceful woman, beautifully dressed. She is 

 slender, with a beautiful delicate face. 



3 is a chubby -little girl, with dark eyes and bright quiet ways. 



4 is a plain woman, rather tall, with pale hair brushed tightly 

 back from a severe face. She is dressed very plainly, and the 

 lines of her figure are angular. She is abstinent, intolerant, and 

 hard to get along with. 



5 is a man, dark, medium height, dressed in gray clothes. He 

 is a business or professional man, successful and not particularly 

 intellectual. 5 is always associated with the color gray. 



6 is a pleasant-faced woman, medium height and stature, with 

 hair brushed back plainly, and with quick, quiet ways. She is 

 dressed plainly and neatly, and always looks pretty. She is an 

 excellent housekeeper, and I think of her as engaged in house- 

 hold duties. I do not know the color of her hair. 



7 is a man of quite opposite type from 5. He is very tall and 

 dark, of musical or poetic temperament. I don't know how he is 

 dressed, except that his whole figure is dark as I imagine him.
