Feb. 20. O: “Red” flower[23]—R: “Red” flower. (See Fig. 14a.)
Feb. 22. O: Odd tree—R: Similar odd tree.
Feb. 24. O: Branch of tree with thorns—R: Apparently branch of tree,
not thorned.
Mar. 11. O: Melon, with stalk and leaf—R: Indeterminate vegetable or
flower, with stalk, and what looks like two leaves similar to
the leaf in O.
Mar. 11. O: Palm tree—R: 2 indeterminate figures, curiously like O.
Mar. ?. O: Dead tree with pointed limbs—R: 3 “horns,” somewhat
suggestive.
Mar. ?. O: Bouquet of “pink” roses, and leaves—R: An odd half
flower-like figure, marked “green” exteriorly and “pink”

All the Original Drawings Representing Crosses
1929
1. Feb. ?. O: Swastika cross (Fig. 101)—R: 3 drawings which together
give 3 of the 4 rectangular quarters of the swastika cross,
and the directions in which they open; 2 drawings, each of
which practically represents a half of the cross, but one of
these reversed (Fig. 101a).
2. Feb. 6. O: Swastika cross—R: _Failure_.
3. Feb. ?. O: Pattée cross (Fig. 81)—R: A figure, four of which
rightly placed make the cross; but by adding a bail (because
of inference?) it is made a basket (Fig. 81a).
4. Feb. 10. O: Eight-armed crosses (Fig. 64)—R: Script, “See spider,
or some sort of legged pest.” (Note that the Arachnida are
eight-legged.)
5. Feb. 15. O: Three four-armed crosses on a box—R: Three six-armed
crosses. (See Figs. 98, 98a.)
6. Mar. ?. O: Eight-armed cross with notched ends (Fig. 7)—R:
Seven-armed cross with notched ends (Fig. 7a).
Originals Representing the Sun
In the course of 300 experiments, extending a little beyond the period
reported by the book, there were but two of these.
The first was on February 11, 1929. The agent made a sun as children
draw it, a circle with rays surrounding it. The percipient made no
drawing but wrote “Setting sun and bird in the sky. Big bird on the
wing—sea gull or wild goose.” Mr. Sinclair calls this a partial success,
and surely it is.
The second was on February 15, more than fifty experiments having
intervened. The agent drew a sun over hills, the percipient a circle
with rays around it actually labelled “a sun,” over a “body.” (See Figs.
93, 93a.) This also was a partial success.
Thus both times out of 300 experiments when Mr. Sinclair made a sun, his
wife “got it” and drew one also.
