In June 1885 some successful experiments in thought-transference were made by Herr Dessoir, of Berlin, author of _A Bibliography of Modern Hypnotism_, and other works, with the co-operation of some friends, Herren Weiss, Biltz, and Sachse. There were in all eighteen trials with diagrams in which Herr Dessoir was the percipient. The diagrams which follow--reproduced from the original drawings--were the result of six consecutive trials. They are, as will be seen, not completely successful, but they convey a fair idea of the amount of success attained in the whole series. It should be noted that the impression received by the percipient appears to have been persistent; and that the second attempt at reproduction, in five out of the six cases, was more successful than the first. Herr Dessoir states that he was generally out of the room whilst the figure was being drawn; he returned at the given signal, with eyes closely bandaged; "I set myself at the table, and in many instances placed my hands on the table, and the agent placed his hands on mine; the hands lay quite still on one another. When an image presented itself to my mind, the hands were removed ... and I took off the bandage and drew my figure." A full account of these experiments, and of others conducted by Herr Dessoir, will be found in _Proc. S.P.R._, vol. iv. pp. 111-126; vol. v. pp. 355-357. [Illustration: I. ORIG. Agent: W. S. REP. 1.
