Prof. Hyslop's strong stand against
telepathy is not shared by some other
eminent authorities. Prof. Podmore
says that there is abundant evidence Of
clairvoyance in the form OF telepathy.
In such cases the transmitted idea
seems to reach the mind OF the per-
ciDient spontaneously. with great full
ness OF detail and often with remarka-
bic ease and rapidity. as the outcome
OF a special receptivity on the part OF
the percipient. Such clairvoyance. he
says. occurs in its most striking form
with hypnotized percipients.
