38 membranes. Superfluous portions removed from both sides. No catarrh now apparent. Breathing spots usually well-rounded and symmetrical with neat division lines. rλ and Δr determined with but one inspiration. Movements of cylinder rapid with little repetition. Position indicative of strain.

C. (Miss M. H. Carter), a partially trained subject. Organ very easily exhausted. Membranes subject to sudden congestions of blood and mucus upon nervous fatigue. Adenoid growth as a child. (The growth was not cut away, but disappeared of itself). Breathing spots ragged, ill-defined, and almost never symmetrical. Breathing during an experiment irregular and violent. Tendency to sniff obstinate. rλ and Δr usually determined with 1 or 2 inspirations. Movements of cylinder rapid with little repetition. Position indicative of much strain.

D. (Mr. S. J. Druskin), a partially trained subject. Breathing spots perfect, as a rule. rλ and Δr usually determined with 1 or 2 inspirations. Movements of cylinder at first rapid and few ; after practice, tentative with noticeable repetition. Position indicative of but slight strain.

K. (Mr. T. Kairiyama), a trained subject. Organ much impaired by hay-fever and other catarrhal trouble. Breathing spots fairly symmetrical as a rule, but ragged at the edges. rλ and Δr usually determined with 1 or 2 inspirations. Expiration violent (“to clean out the smell”). Movements of cylinder tentative but few. Position indicative of but slight strain.

M. (Miss E. B. Macleod), a wholly untrained subject. Breathing spots seldom quite symmetrical and never well defined. No catarrh before the current winter. rλ and Δr usually determined with 1 or 2 inspirations. Movements of cylinder always irregular from want of practice. Position easy.

N. (Mr. A. C. Nutt), a partially trained subject. Organ : Easily exhausted. Sensitivity somewhat higher on the right side, as a rule. (The subject complained of “feeling left-handed” on the left side.) Postero-lateral half of left breathing spot usually missing (a fact showing chronic obstruction of the left inferior meatus). Both spots ill-defined. rλ and Δr determined usually with 2 or 3 inspirations. Movements of cylinder slow and tentative with but little repetition. Position indicative of strain.

P. (Mr. C. A. Perry), a partially trained subject. Organ much impaired by chronic catarrh. Diseased portions removed from the lower turbinal bones on both sides. Breathing spots rarely symmetrical. Secondary division quite apparent in spite of the operation mentioned. Spots ill-defined. rλ and Δr usually determined with one inspiration.
