 feature in investigating the psychology of Kafir children. 

 " When Kafirs are questioned as to their earliest remem- 

 bered impressions they usually state that these were

 things they remember are connected with the sense of 

 colour; th<?n impressions of sound and of form seem to 

 follow last of all." In still more primitive races the 

 importance of smell impressions is probably greater; and 

 there are few of us who have not some complex memory 

 / picture associated with an early impression of smell.
