The whole record is worth studying for the light thrown upon the nature of the percipient's impressions and on the conditions which apparently favour success in experiments of this kind.

Amongst other remarkable effects which may be ascribed to telepathy, are the inhibition of speaking on the part of the hypnotised subject by the silent will of the experimenter, and the production of sleep at a distance.
