3. The empty P. Hin, insensible under moderate pressure.

4. The tight P. Tsou, which the finger feels with difficulty.

5. The embarrassed P. Kié, languid and occasionally stopping.

6. The intermittent P. Tai, when several pulsations appear to be missing.

7. The slender P. Sié, so slow and weak, that it feels like a hair.

8. The moving P. Tong, that one might compare to stones under water.

9. The tense P. , feeling like a distended drum-head.

But as many Chinese doctors were not satisfied with this confusion in the classification of pulses, and, like practitioners in other countries, sought to render darkness still more visible—they sought to strike out a new career by increasing the multiplication, and introduced the following addenda:

1. The strong pulse, Ta, filling the vessel, yet yielding to pressure.

2. The precipitate P. Son, in which the pulsation was rapid in succession.
