СКАЧАТЬ 1.—By MR. GUTHRIE AND OTHERS.

September 3, 1883.
EXPT. TASTER. PERCIPIENT. SUBSTANCE. ANSWERS GIVEN.
1 M. E. Vinegar. "A sharp and nasty taste."
2 M. E. Mustard. "Mustard."
3 M. R. Do. "Ammonia."
4 M. E. Sugar. "I still taste the hot taste of the mustard."
September 4.
5 E. G. & M. E. Worcestershire sauce "Worcestershire sauce."
6 M. G. R. Do. "Vinegar."
7 E. G. & M. E. Port wine "Between eau de Cologne and beer."
8 M. G. R. Do. "Raspberry vinegar."
9 E. G. & M. E. Bitter aloes "Horrible and bitter."
10 M. G. R. Alum "A taste of ink—of iron—of vinegar. I feel it on my lips—it is as if I had been eating alum."
11 M. G. E. Alum (E. perceived that M. G. was as not tasting bitter aloes, E. G. and M. supposed, but something different. No distinct perception on account of the persistence of the bitter taste.)
EXPT. TASTER. PERCIPIENT. SUBSTANCE. ANSWERS GIVEN.
12 E. G. & M. E. Nutmeg "Peppermint—no—what you put in puddings—nutmeg."
13 M. G. R. Do. "Nutmeg."
14 E. G. & M. R. Sugar Nothing perceived.
15 M. G. R. Do. Nothing perceived. (Sugar should be tried at an earlier stage in the series, as, after the aloes, we could scarcely taste it ourselves.)
16 E. G. & M. E. Cayenne pepper "Mustard."
17 M. G. R. Do. "Cayenne pepper." (After the cayenne we were unable to taste anything further that evening.)
Throughout the next series of experiments the substances were kept outside the room in which the percipients were seated.
September 5.
18 E. G. & M. E. Carbonate of Soda Nothing perceived.
19 M. G. R. Caraway seeds "It feels like meal—like a seed loaf—caraway seeds." (The substance of the seeds seems to be perceived before their taste.)
20 E. G. & M. E. Cloves "Cloves."
21 E. G. & M. E. Citric acid Nothing felt.
22 M. G. R. Do. "Salt."
23 E. G. & M. E. Liquorice "Cloves."
24 M. G. R. Cloves "Cinnamon."
25 E. G. & M. E. Acid jujube "Pear drop."
26 M. G. R. Do. "Something hard, which is giving way—acid jujube."
27 E. G. & M. E. Candied ginger "Something sweet and hot."
28 M. G. R. Do. "Almond toffy." (M. G. took this ginger in the dark, and was some time before he realised that it was ginger.)
29 E. G. & M. E. Home-made Noyau. "Salt."
30 M. G. R. Do. "Port wine." (This was by far the most strongly smelling of the substances tried; the scent of kernels being hard to conceal. Yet it was named by E. as salt.)
31 E. G. & M. E. Bitter aloes "Bitter."
32 M. G. R. Do. Nothing felt.
