Explanation of Terms Used in 

 Classified Table. 

 Subdivisions of order of value of testi- 

 mony :— 



(1) Indicates tetimony directly ap- 



pealing to senses, feeling, or 

 consciousness. Memory of 

 former experiences aiding the 

 judgment. 



(2) Indicates testimony directly ap- 



pealing to the senses, feeling, or 

 consciousness. Memory of 

 former experiences not an aid 

 to judgment. 



(3) Indicates experiences more or 



less remote. Testimony de- 

 pendant upon observer's memory 

 mainly. 



(4) Indicates that testimony is 



wholly dependant upon the 

 observation of others — not per- 

 sonal observation. 



Conditions a h c d ef g qualifying the 

 value of the subordinate stages of obser- 

 vation : 



a Indicates stage of the scientific 

 method. All sense organs avail- 

 able for verification, together 

 with the advantages of health, 

 perfect organisation, best posi- 

 tion, special training, and full 

 equipment of tested instrumental 

 aids. 



h Indicates the common sense stage. 

 The same as a stage, but lacking 

 the advantage of special training, 

 best position, and the absence of 

 tested instrumental aids. 



(Crippled sense stages more or less liable 

 to illusion.) 



c Indicates the h stage, but lacking 

 the co-operation of one ef the 

 least valuable of the complemen- 

 tary sense aids. 



d Indicates the h stage, but lacking 

 the co-operation of two of the 

 least valuable of the comple- 

 mentary sense- aids. 



e Indicates the h stage, but lacking 

 the co-operation of three of the 

 least valuable of the comple- 

 mentary sense-aids. 



^ Indicates the 6 stage, but lacking 

 the co-operation of four of the 

 least valuable of the comple- 

 mentary sense-aids. 



g Indicates that all the sense organs 

 are rendered nugatory so far as 

 direct obs rvation is concerned ; 

 memory of former experiences 

 alone available to qualify the 

 testimony of others upon whom 

 the crippled mind and senses are 

 now wholly dependant. 



Column numbers under order of value 

 of testimony : — 



The numbers under each one of the 

 four columns indicate, in the 

 order of downward sequence, 

 the relative qualitative (not 

 quantitative) value of the par- 

 ticular stage of observation, or 

 of the conclusion or judgment 

 based thereupon.
