_La Géométrie Générale et les Jugements Synthétiques a priori_ is a
reply by M. G. Lechalas to an article by M. Renouvier in the _Critique
Philosophique_ criticising M. Calinon's theory of geometrical spaces
embodied in the system of "general geometry." While showing that spaces
with three dimensions are rationally included in a space with four
dimensions, M. Lechalas recognises the impossibility of establishing
such a geometry, seeing that we have no figure that answers to what a
four-dimensional space would be, as well as the purely formal character
of the presentations of non-Euclidian figures. (Paris: F. Alcan.)

LITERATUR-BERICHT.
The results of Mr. Schaefer's researches are that for the localisation
of the vibrations of two tones, in the case of their unequal relative
intensity, the direction and distance of the relatively louder tone are
determinate. If the relative intensity of the primary tones is equal,
the vibrations are heard to proceed from the region between the two
sounding points. Differential tones are heard between the ears, when
the sounding sources are in the median plane; but when both primary
tones come from the same side, in or immediately before the ear on that
side; and in case of unequal intensity, when both come from different
sides, on the side of the softer sound.
Prof. Münsterberg concludes that there is no _successive_ association
of ideas; when successively appearing, they are received singly into
the memory.
The letters of Fechner are continued from No. 1.

LITERATUR-BERICHT.
Dr. Uhthoff, in order to determine the least visual angle of
perception, has employed a grating in a pure-monochromatic spectral
field. His results were that the angles in the different parts of the
spectrum are essentially equal.
Æsthetic emotions, Mr. Döring contends, proceed from the unhindered
play of the functions of psychical faculties; their contrary, from the
inhibition of the same.
