The contents of Mind fur October, though inevitably heavy, are
varied, including, in addition to interesting "discussions" and notes —one note on cases of amnesia- is especially intereeting—papers on
"The Physical Conditions of-Conseionsnees," by Dr. Manddey ; "The Place of Hypothesis in Experimental Science," by Mr. J. H. Bin; and on "The Perception of Space," by Professor W. James, the last being the fourth of a series. Professor James is decidedly, not to say agreeably, combative. He speaks of "Brows, the Mills, and Bain" having "gone astray like lost sheep," of Mr. Spencer "pretending to evolve" and "inveighing vociferously," of "pitiful incoherence," and of Wundt's theory being "the flimsiest thing in the world." Pro. fessor James's weapon cannot, however, be compared with the late Professor Ferrier's rapier.
