Abstract

SOME ten or twelve years ago I made some experiments upon the subject of Mr. Larden's letter in NATURE (Jan. 17, p. 262), namely, unconscious bias in walking. The experiments were not numerous, but they left no doubt in my mind as to the cause of divergence from a straight path. My notes were sent, at my father's suggestion, to the late Mr. Douglas Spalding, who was about to undertake experiments on the curious power which animals have of finding their way. I rather think he made some trials with pigs, but I believe he never published anything on the subject. In stating my results I am compelled therefore to rely on memory only.
