Notes.—(1) All quite unsatisfactory. The arrangement difficult to apperceive as a whole. Each picture taken by itself. (2) The tunnel closed doesn’t amount to much. (3) The significance of the tunnel gives it weight. For F. 160, V. 148, and F. 180, V. 180, relation difficult. (4) Court closed gets weaker as gets farther from center. (5) At F. 100, begins to lose relation between pictures, as if one were in one room, one in another.

Notes.—(1) Difficult to apperceive together. From F. 140, V. 108, depth is more strongly imagined. (3) Tunnel closed has not much value. (5) F. 80, V. 134, taken with reference both to frame and to the other picture—must not be symmetrical nor too far out.

The subjects agree in remarking on the lack of interest of the closed tunnel, and the attractive power of the open tunnel, and notes which emphasize this accompany choices where the open tunnel is put uniformly nearer. (Cf. H, F. 180, V. 50; F. 80, V. 13; G, (2), (3), (4), (5); A, (3), and F. 140.) As a glance at the results shows that the open tunnel is placed on the whole nearer the center, we may conclude that these choices represent a mechanical balance, in which the open tunnel, or depth in the third dimension, is ‘heavier.’
