As a result of these groupings of the male judgments it appeared that the former method gives a far more regular distribution than the latter. In view of this result and the above considerations, Tables 7 and 8 were constructed by the use of 10-second classes, beginning with 1-10. In these tables (column C) the distribution of the letter-counting results has been included for convenience of comparison of the two kinds of judgments as to form of distribution.

As instances of the general form of distribution of the judgments the curves have been plotted for letter-counting, Fig. 1 A. (Males ——, Females, ... ,) for idleness 36 seconds, Fig. 1 B, and for idleness 108 seconds, Fig. 2. The distribution of the letter-counting judgments in classes of 10 is very regular in comparison with that of the several time-estimation judgments. For idleness 36 seconds there are several fairly distinct modes, and for idleness 108 seconds the modes are still more numerous and more marked.
