6. _Agt._, as in Figure 80; _Per._, as in Figure 80a. Only point of
resemblance the two angles formed by the legs of the reclining seat.
7. _Agt._, what was probably intended to represent a German
_Pickelhaube_ (Fig. 5); _Per._, what the accompanying script called a
“Knight’s helmet”; very similar (Fig. 5a).
8. _Agt._, a row of five pillars (shown with a rather extraordinary
perspective slant), each mainly indicated by three or four vertical
parallel lines, an entablature above (Fig. 132); _Per._, four
pillar-like objects constructed of vertical parallel lines, three to
five, the presumed pillars having no entablature but in themselves and
additional lines showing the same slant as in the original. The presumed
pillars are likewise nearly equally spaced, but are of unequal heights,
indicating that the percipient’s impression was a visual one and that
she had no clear idea what she was drawing (Fig. 132a).
9. _Agt._, presumably a palm tree (Fig. 8); _Per._, two objects hard to
name, but each in a general way curiously like the original, even to the
bend in what is presumably the trunk, though it is not the same bend
(Fig. 8a).
Series of March 16, 1929
There were seven tests on this date.
1. _Agt._, a burning lamp (Fig. 40); _Per._, as in Figure 40a, whether
the drawing represents a tube from which flame proceeds, or the wick and
that part of the lamp which is within the chimney, at any rate the same
lines which conventionally signify light appear as in the original.
Accompanying script says “flame and sparks.”
2. _Agt._, a butterfly net (Fig. 110); _Per._, the handle of the net is
duplicated, and the general shape of the net is pretty well shown (Fig.
110a).
3. _Agt._, a carnation with four near-angles along its upper edge (Fig.
113); _Per._, four triangles in a row with a hint of lines below (Fig.
113a).
4. _Agt._, a trench mortar (Fig. 42); _Per._, a figure considerably like
but shorter than the trench mortar, and likewise pointing upward, a
stem-like extension like the axle in the original but on the other side,
whiffs of smoke emerging (Fig. 42a). Here the impressions received seem
partly visual, partly ideational.
5. _Agt._, a telegraph pole and four wires proceeding horizontally from
it in two directions (Fig. 129); _Per._, something like a pole, and five
lines proceeding from it in one direction (Fig. 129a).
6. _Agt._, two hearts side by side, transfixed horizontally by an arrow
(Fig. 126); _Per._, two balloon-like shapes side by side, transfixed
horizontally by a line (Fig. 126a).
7. _Agt._, a frieze (Fig. 124); _Per._, what looks like a detail of a
different design yet one which also consists of parallel lines enclosing
narrow tracts which run in different directions (Fig. 124a). Even so
much of distant resemblance would not occur anything like once in ten
times by chance.
