She could smell “open fields, woods, a small vil- lage, a cottage by the roadside and the buildings of a State institution.”” This remarkable feat also, he said, must be | considered purely as due to an extremely developed ability to interpret odor sen- sations inside the brain. Her sense of touch, he said, was most efficient on the tip of the tongue, as it 1s in normal persons.

Her sense of vibration, he sald, was not abnormally developed, but her in- terpretation of the sensations received is so good that she can sit in front of a radlo, with her hand close to the loud speaker, and enter into the spirit of the music.
