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. SIMILAR SERIES (1) There are few cases of inhibition, and even more surprising is the small number of cases in which a figure is inhibited by its similar. (2) There are more substitutions, 6 being very often substituted for 5, generally in the 6th place and when preceded by 0 or 9, often by both. Similars are never replaced by identicals (69 by 66 or 99) as Ranschburg found in his experiments. (3) The fusion of similars equals that of identicals in the homogeneous series. (4) The number of permutations is the same as in the homogeneous series and less than in the heterogeneous. (5) The doubtful perceptions have decreased by half. That there are fewer errors in this series than in the homogeneous or heterogeneous, may be due to the fact that it was given last, especially since one subject showed marked improvement in the entire series and another during the last half. These subjects suddenly began to see six figures, while previously they had seen but five and those contained errors. In the above 1620 tests, 9 and 0, and 8 and 3, are sometimes inhibited by and substituted for each other, but the remaining similars mentioned by Ranschburg seldom have any such effect. It is impossible to determine definitely the nature of the interference, the greatest uncertainty existing in the homogeneous series when two identicals are adjacent. But the interference is dependent not only upon the identity or similarity of the figures of which the number is composed but also upon their location.
