All the nerve ends on these sections therefore receive one 

 shock during the period. 



The relative intensities of the several 

 The relative tones under the third, fourth, and sixth pro- 



intensities visional assumptions are shown in the fol- 



lowing table. 



Having studied the effect of changing the relative intensities 

 of the objective tones in favor of the lower one, we shall now in- 

 vestigate the effect of increasing the intensity of the higher objec- 

 tive tone. The curve in figure 3€ represents the function 

 f{x) = sin5^ + SsinSur.

 tion points.
