In estimating the value of the coincidences between Mr. Kirk's thought and Miss G.'s impressions in the fourth and fifth trials, it should not be overlooked that the percipient's impressions were not vague images, such as are wont to crowd through our minds on the near approach of sleep, but clear-cut visions, approximating to visual hallucinations. No. 39.--By MR. KIRK and MISS PRICKETT. Mr. Kirk conducted another short series of experiments in March 1892, with Miss L. M. Prickett, the distance between agent and percipient being about twelve miles. The results are given below. It is to be noted that the percipient's impressions in this series seem generally to have been deferred. But in weighing the amount of correspondence between the diagrams and the percipient's reproductions, it should be observed that of the four diagrams employed, three were reproduced with substantial accuracy, and in their chronological order; and that even on the second and third evenings the percipient's impressions--rectilinear figures inscribed in a circle--bore a general resemblance to the diagram actually selected. It is perhaps unfortunate that three out of the four diagrams included circles or figures akin to circles, but as the percipient had not seen any of the diagrams beforehand, this circumstance does not in any way invalidate the results, though it weakens the argument against chance-coincidence. -----------+-----------------------+--------------------------------+- No. of | Date and Hour. | Diagram looked at by | Experiment.| | Agent. | | | | -----------+-----------------------+--------------------------------+- | | | { | Tuesday, | [Illustration] | { | 1st March, 1892. | | { | 10.30 to 11.0 P.M. | | 1 { | | | { |White circle with blue | | { | border, about 7 in. | | { | diam.--cross in | | { | centre blue. | | -----------+-----------------------+--------------------------------+- { | Friday, |Agent did not experiment. | 2 { | 4th March, 1892. | Percipient sat, in ignorance | { | 10.30 to 11.0 P.M. | of agent's intentions. | | | | | | | | | |
