Abstract
I NEED hardly say that I sincerely regret the unwitting misrepresentation of Mr. Thorndike's meaning. But I may be allowed to add, in self-defence, that the “careless and ambiguous sentence” forms part of the definition of “impulse,” and that the exclusion of “feeling one's own body in a different position, &c,” is emphasised by italics. I am glad to find that Mr. Thorndike's interpretation and my own are thus yet more closely in accord than I supposed, and shall look forward to more experiments and further discussion in the field of “Animal Intelligence” from him.
