Smell and Specific Gravity

Abstract

IN the course of some other experiments which are being undertaken in the Psychology Department of the University of Edinburgh, a number of subjects were requested to arrange in serial order, according to smell, phials containing oil of cedar (C), origanum (O), sandalwood (S), and terebene (T). Twenty-two experiments were made in all, and tend to confirm the observations made by Haycraft, Cohn, Zwaardemaker, Heyninx, and others, with regard to odour and chemical constitution.
