Abstract
IN his letter in NATURE of February 14, p. 228, Prof. Scripture directs attention to the valuable work on the theory of hearing done at the New York research laboratories of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. He refers to the papers of Fletcher, and of Wegel and Lane. The results obtained by these experimenters, in his opinion, completely confute the resonance theory, though he considers that “The simple facts of the accelerated toothed wheel and of portamento speech ought to have been enough to convince any one.”
