Abstract
IT may interest those who have read my memoir in NATURE, vol. xxi. p. 252, on visualised numerals, to learn some of the principal results obtained thus far through its publication. I have received several new diagrams more or less similar to those already published, so that I have now about thirty of them in all. My new contributors are of the same classes as before. There is only one high mathematician among them; the remainder are pursuers of science, authors of various degrees of reputation, persons engaged in tuition, students at Oxford and Cambridge, some other adults, and one schoolboy. If my collection becomes still further increased, I have grounds for belief that I shall be able to classify the cases, and to extract more meaning out of them than has hitherto been feasible.
