Abstract
Olfaction remains the most neglected field of sensory physiology today. Men and insects have been the usual subjects, and the quantitative data are largely confined to liminal measurements. The special technical problems involved in olfactometry and the failure of threshold data to provide a reliable index of supra-threshold intensity have recently led to the development of a method of matching olfactory intensities analogous to that long used in visual and auditory studies.1 A scale for the quantitative determination of supra-threshold olfactory intensity has been proposed.2 In the present paper we report the results of measurements of olfactory intensity for a homologous series of aliphatic alcohols. A homologous series was chosen and studied because chemical differences between the odorants
