 my results I here reproduce Preyer's table:

It should be mentioned that the number of tests ^vith the 

 separate colors varied. 



1 cannot, as a result of my experiments, offer a similar table, 

 because they lasted only fifteen days and of this time the first six 

 were occupied in practice with red; the other colors, furthermore, 

 were named and practised for the first time on different days. 

 The aim of my experiments was, however, from the outstart a 

 different one. 



At best the only tests of mine that are comparable with 

 Preyer's are those of the last three days. If, according to these, 

 a color-series were to be constructed, in such a way that the colors 

 named correctly and with the most certainty were to stand at the 

 top of the tabulated series and those most uncertainly named at 

 the bottom, it might be represented somewhat as follows:
