 culty in learning this maze perfectly, it was not demanded of 

 the mice that they should follow the path correctly several 

 times in succession, but instead the training was terminated 

 after the first successful trip. 



The results of the experiments with this labyrinth as they 

 are presented in Table 39 indicate that its path is considerably

 B, that the females learn more quickly than the males, and 

 finally, that individual differences are just as marked as they

 of the results. Certain of the individual differences which
