 connected with writing. I is the center for intellectual 

 concepts. Taking the word ' ' bell r ' as an example, at A 

 will be stored the memory of the appearance of the bell, 

 at that of the sound of the word, at M the memory 

 of the muscular movements necessary to pronounce the 

 word, and at \Y those concerned in writing it. I re-
