E. B. TITCHENER— ETHNOLOGICAL TESTS OF SENSATION. 223 



Rivers' phrases are : 



'■ great definiteness and unanimity for R " ( i name) 



'' rather less so for O and Y " (4 and 5 names) 



"less so for G" (6 names) 



" very great indefiniteness for B and V " (8 and 8 or 9 names) 



The rise from 5 to 8 thus changes a " rather less great definiteness 

 and unanimity" to "very great indefiniteness." Yet the B names 

 group, clearly enough, with the YG, G and BG names. We need, as 

 I said above, the actual numbers of subjects who used particular 

 terms ; then we could weight the data of the table. 

 Rivers' further findings^^ are as follows :

zoromzorom. 



The cruces of the vocabulary are kakekakek and cuttle. Rivers 

 translates kakekakek roundly by white ; he does not know the deriva- 

 tion of the word.^^ We find it applied to white paper, light gray 

 paper, Holmgren's apple-green test wool, the violet test wool, and 



3<^ R, 54. 



31 We are not told whether these grays were mixed from the dull black 

 or the deep black paper.
