(2) The figure is seldom permuted more than two places, and generally but one.
The recording of the number was most interesting. Generally the first few figures and the last were written without comment, but the 4th and 5th often called forth an expression of doubt, which was immediately followed by an exclamation at the coming of the figure into consciousness as if by "inspiration." The experience was extremely peculiar. The figure, fully as distinct as those already perceived, was always from 5″ to 10″ late, and seemed to "pop in unannounced"—to "come from nowhere." A substitution or permutation occurred without this lapse of time.
HETEROGENEOUS SERIES
(1) There are less than half as many inhibitions as in the homogeneous series, the largest number being in the 4th and 5th places.
(2) The number of substitutions is decreased by a fourth, the identicals and similars remaining the same.
(3) There are no fusions.
(4) Fewer permutations are found in this series. The 4th and 5th figures are most often permuted. In a very few cases the figure is permuted four and five places.
(5) There are an equal number of doubtful perceptions in both series.
