Abstract
The traveling-wave theories are traced historically from their earliest formulation to modern times. Special consideration is given to the weighty influence on the later developments of these theories exerted by Békésy's direct visual observations of the movements of cochlear structures in response to sounds. Finally, a résumé is given of the characteristics of the tonal patterns and their dependence upon the physical variables operating within the cochlea, according to Békésy's experiments on mechanical models and specimens of human and animal ears. Hereby are brought into focus the many conditions that a final theory of hearing must meet.
