6. Left wrist scratched with pins- " It is in the left wrist like being scratched." 



6. Left ankle pricked. Rightly localized. 



7. Spot behind left ear pricked. No result. 



8. Right knee pricked- Rightly localized. 



9. Right shoulder pricked. Rightly localized. 



10. Hands burned over gas. "Like a pulling pain; then tingling like cold and hot al- 

 ternately." Localized by gesture only. 



11. End of tongue bitten. " It is in the lips or the tongue?" 



12. Palm of left hand pricked. " Is it a tingling pain in the hand, here ?" placing her 

 finger on the palm of the left hand. 



13. Back of neck pricked- " Is it a pricking of the neck?" 



14. Front of left arm above elbow pricked- Rightly localized. 



15. Spot just above left ankle pricked. Rightly localized. 



16. Spot just above right wrist pricked. " I am not quite sure, but I feel a pain in the 

 right arm, from the thumb upwards to above the wrist-" 



17. Inside of left ankle pricked- Outside of left ankle guessed. 



18. Spot beneath right collar-bone pricked. The exactly corresponding spot on the left 

 side was guessed. 



19- Back hair pulled. No result. 



20. Inside of right wrist pricked- Right foot guessed- 



Thus in 10 out of 20 cases the percipient localized the pain with 

 great precision ; in six the localization was nearly exact, and with these

we may include No. 10, where 

 the pain was probably not 

 confined to a single well-de-

 the agents ; in two, no local 

 impression was produced ; 

 and in one, the last, the an- 

 swer was wholly wrong. " 



In the transference of ideas

 periments were very curious. 

 Drawings shown in figs. 383 

 to 394 inclusive, represent

 There was .of course special care that the percipient should get no 

 knowledge of the nature of the originals through the ordinary senses.
