TABLE III. TONES
The table of tone-combinations shows that some are simply repetitions
of the same chord in a higher octave, as 1 and 9, 5 and 13, 15 and 14.
The first sixteen are harmonious; so also the twenty-sixth; the others
introduce beats and discords, some of which are agreeable, as 20 and
21, while others are disagreeable, as 19 and 27. Individual differences
appear in this as in the previous series. The totals introduced into
the tables simply go to show that in each series the total judgments
are not widely diverse.
