exactly the right place. She then put her hand h\ aud got food. Time: two 

 minutes. 



She tore away all the paper and tried for some time to find more food. 

 Failing in this she climlied the end of the cage again. She remained there 

 nutil the device was reset. Then she looked around at it for some time. 

 Finally, she went slowly around to the front, climbed down to the floor, 

 tried to look through wire at animals in the living cages, stopped an instant 

 at the door, went on to the paper and with feet on the lower edge of the 

 frame bit a hole in the paper. She thrust her fingers into the hole and 

 tore the paper all off, getting the food. 



She then climbed the cage and waited until the device was reset. At 

 once she went to the floor and across to the paper. She hit at it, but the 

 paper did not break. Again she tried it with the same result. Then she 

 tried to break it with her hand. She climbed the end of the cage and 

 remained there a minute. Again she went to the floor and tried to bite 

 through the paper, but failed as before. She walked about the floor and 

 again returned to the paper. This time she bit at the edge of the hole and 

 literally wore a hole in the paper by rubbing her teeth over the wood. When 

 she had made a small hole, she poked one finger through the opening and 

 by a very hard pull tore the heavj- bond paper. 



Summary of Behavior of Xo. 10 in the Paper Experiment. 

 In the preliminary trials No. 10 gave almost no attention to the paper, 

 merely looking at it once and passing over it in climbing upon the frame which 

 surrounded it. In the first test she watched No. 11 intently and when he 

 was out of the cage, she manifested an increased interest in the paper. The 

 second test increased this interest and she repeated exactly the behavior of 

 No. 11 within two minutes after his removal.
