and the size of the shot were kept constant, but the length of the 

 tube was varied according to the strength of the stimulus desired. 

 The length of the tube and one or two words descriptive of the 

 reaction have been recorded in each table. The results secured 



TABLE 7 



Responses in seconds to touch and heat. Shot rolled through tube striking upon the 



surface of the foot. Feet normal. Reaction allowance 30 seconds. 



Stimulation time, 2 minutes, oo = no response 



by stimulating the normal feet by the stroke of the shot, also by 

 heat, are shown in table 7. Twelve experiments were made and 

 the records of five were selected because these showed the early 

 exhaustion of the tactile Sense and the persistent presence of the 

 heat response, the shorter reaction time and gentler response to 

 touch contrasted against the abrupt reaction of heat following 

 a long reaction time.
