A general survey of the individual records, all of which for any one year and sex were tabulated, for convenience of examination, on a single large sheet of coördinate paper, showed that the judgments vary within a wide range and are very inexact. Table 2 exhibits the number of correct judgments for each sex, interval, and filling. Of the 4014 male judgments only 96 (2.39%) were correct; of the 4375 female judgments only 46 (1.05%) were correct. The number of correct judgments decreases as the length of the interval increases. For the 18-second intervals there were 7.37% for the males, 2.48% for the females, while for the 108-second intervals there were only 0.10% and 0.37% respectively.
