No connection between number of trials and time or distance 

 was found, and the ratio of total time to total distance did 

 not appear to be constant. (Table V). Thus, the lowest num- 

 ber of trials (14) was made by a rat whose total distance was 

 next to the lowest, but whose time record was higher than that 

 of one rat finishing at sixteen trials and those of two rats finish- 

 ing at thirty-eight trials each. The greatest number of trials 

 (84) was made by a rat whose time record was exceeded by 

 eighteen others, while its distance record was exceeded by four
