[102] Archiv f. d. ges. Physiol., Bd. 26, p. 176 (1881). Exner thinks
(_ibid._ Bd. 28, p. 497 (1882)) that the summation here occurs in the
spinal cord. It makes no difference where this particular summation
occurs, so far as the general philosophy of summation goes.

examples are given, 487-9.

[105] See a similar instance in Mach: Beiträge zur Analyse der
Empfindungen, p. 36, a sparrow being the animal. My young children are
afraid of their own pug-dog, if he enters their room after they are in
bed and the lights are out. Compare this statement also: "The first
question to a peasant seldom proves more than a flapper to rouse the
torpid adjustments of his ears. The invariable answer of a Scottish
peasant is, 'What's your wull?'--that of the English, a vacant stare. A
second and even a third question may be required to elicit an answer."
(R. Fowler; Some Observations on the Mental State of the Blind, and
Deaf, and Dumb (Salisbury, 1843), p. 14.)
[106] The reader will find a great deal about chronographic apparatus
in J. Marey: La Méthode Graphique, pt. ii, chap. ii. One can make
pretty fair measurements with no other instrument than a watch, by
making a large number of reactions, each serving as a signal for
the following one, and dividing the total time they take by their
number. Dr. O. W. Holmes first suggested this method, which has been
ingeniously elaborated and applied by Professor Jastrow. See 'Science'
for September 10, 1886.
[107] See, for a few modifications, Cattell, Mind, xi, 220 ff.
