Agents—M. Mabire, Frau Schmoll, Schmoll.

Percipient—Mdlle. Louise.

Object—The double eye-glasses (pince-nez) belonging to M. Mabire were laid on the table.

Result—After five minutes: "I see two curves, open above, that do not touch each other." Then Mdlle. Louise drew:—

Unfortunately, the original drawings and reproductions in this series were not preserved. The figures given are facsimile reproductions of those in Herr Schmoll's MS. record, which were copied at the time on a reduced scale from the actual drawings made by the agent and the percipient respectively. In the second series the actual drawings have been preserved. In the experiments quoted below, as already stated, the figure was drawn whilst the percipient was out of the room, and (with the exception of No. 58) several copies were made of the drawing, "in order that each agent might be able to see the drawing in an upright position, and that he might be able to place it at the most favourable point of view." The percipient when ready withdrew the bandage from his eyes and, still seated in the chair with his back to the agents, executed the reproduction.

This was the
first time that
an animal had
been drawn.		 After five minutes
Mdlle. Jane said,
"I see a cat's head."
On being asked to
draw what she saw,
she produced the
following figure:—
59Mdlle. Jane. 6.
This was the
first time that
a head had
been drawn. 		At the end of five
minutes, Mdlle. Jane
having said, "it is a
head in profile," a cry
of joy unfortunately
escaped one of those
present. This cry
having betrayed to
Mdlle. Jane that she
had guessed rightly,
no drawing was made.
In order to repair
the wrong as much
as possible, Mdlle.
Jane was asked
which way the head
was turned. "To
the left," she replied.

Experiments 60, 61, 62, 63, 64 were failures. No. 65 was not an experiment with a diagram.
