dents contained therein. Then the
guests were given a short sniff at

give the number Following this test
a bag was passed around and the con
tents felt by each Of the guests who
made a guess on the identity Of the
contents. The eye test consisted IN
taking a short look at a table full Of
articles and afteTWard enUmerate them
from memory.
