1. On Tuesday, 13 April 195h, SI and H experimentatiorr and research was carried on in Building 13. Room 20, with thc followin:, Subjects present: and were in charge of the session.

Work was be with the slow gencral induction with all hands participating and an effort màde to reach as great a dopth as possible. A. simple PH was put in effect at this time. After carrving out the PH, all hands were again placed in a deep trance state. n at this point produced anesthesia in each subject's hand and arm by giving instructions that. the hands and arm of the person would be numb, limp and without feeling On this test,; ar, an produced a complete anesthesia which was held after they were awakened since instructions.were given to that effect. All other subjects produced anesthesias of different degrees which they maintained after they were awakened.

Of particular interest in the above was the fact that was unable to move her hand or arm at all after being awakened vhile all other subjects could move their arms aud hands. checked the ,anesthesia by pricking the hands of the various subjects with a knife.

Following this, all subjects (except were again placed in a deep trance state and instructed that after they opencd their eyes, while still maintaining a deep sleep state, they would follow in a sort "follow the leader" series of movements. af'ter the subjects had opened their eyes, lead the subjects through various rooms of Building 13, performed numerousnonsense movements such as writing on blackboard, walking in circles and doing odd and unusual things. In this connection, rosponded with great seriousness and followed the lcader's moverents completely and could not remember in detail any of thc activity she had gone through. ollowed ompletely on the movements but had memory of doing samc: bllowed the movements and had memory for doing sane. efforts however were unsuccessful although she followed most of thie movements.

This test again reflccts in general the iriea that good subjects will do almost anything scriously and accurately if properly insuructedi, whereas weaker subjects will quite often fail to carry out instructions. No particular significance is attached to this test except it is bolicved that subjccts as a rule will carry out serious tests better than nonsonse tosts and usually good subjects will out perform poor subjects on any type test.
