The child for the most part obeys at once when I say, "drink, eat, shut, open, pick it up, turn around, sit, run!" Only the order "come!" is not so promptly executed, not, however, on account of lack of understanding, but from willfulness. That the word-memory is becoming firm is indicated particularly by the circumstance that now the separate parts of the face and body are pointed out, even after pretty long intervals, quickly and upon request, on his own person and that of others. When I asked about his beard, the child (after having already pointed to my beard), in visible embarrassment, pointed with his forefinger to the place on his face corresponding to that where he saw the beard on mine, and moved his thumb and forefinger several times as if he were holding a hair of the beard between them and pulling at it, as he had had opportunity to do with mine. Here, accordingly, memory and imagination came in as supplementary to satisfy the demand made by the acoustic image. The greatest progress is to be recorded in this month in regard to the reproduction of syllables and words. A perfecting of the process is apparent in the fact that when anything is said for him to repeat, his head is not turned away in unwillingness so often as before, in case the new word said to him is too difficult, nor are all sorts of incoherent, complicated sounds (_paterateratte_) given forth directly upon the first failure of the attempt at imitation. Thus, the following words were at this period, without systematic exercises, incidentally picked up (give, as before, the German pronunciation to the letters): Spoken to him. Reproduced. Ohr, _Oa(r)_. Tisch, _Tiss_. Haus, _Hausesess_. Hemd, _Hem_. Peitsche, _Paitsch_, _Paitse_. Wasser, _Wass_, _Watja_. Hand, _Hann_. Heiss, _Haiss_. Auge, _Autschge_. Butter, _Buotoe_. Eimer, _Aima_. Bitte, _Bete_, _Bite_. Blatt, _Batn_. Tuch, _Tuhs_. Papier, _Patn_, _Pai_. Fort, _Wott_. Vater, _Fa-ata_. Grete, _Deete_. Karl, _Kara_. Alle, _Alla_. Alle, _Alla_. Mund, _Munn_. Finger, _Finge_. Pferd, _Pfowed_, _Fowid_. Gute Nacht, _Nag-ch Na_. Guten Tag, _Tatach_. Morgen, _Moigjen_. Axel, _Akkes_, _Aje_, _Eja_.
