Abstract
DR. RHINE has published in the volume before us the record of some 90,000 trials conducted at Duke University, North Carolina, in what the author terms ‘extra-sensory perception (E.S.P.)’. The phenomena described by these words are substantially the same as those usually named in England ‘clairvoyance’ and ‘telepathy’. The ability of the subjects is tested by the use of certain designs on cards, packs of the latter being ‘called through’ under various conditions (clairvoyance), or the design is merely imagined by the agent and thence transmitted (telepathy). The results of the guess are recorded in every case, and when subjected to mathematical analysis, are found to exclude entirely the chance factor as an explanation of the high scores obtained.
