kind enough to secure, if possible, the statements of any additional witnesses who might have been present on this occasion, and he sent me, in response to this request, the following affidavit, signed by five of the witnesses who were present at the time: California Psychical Research Society, San Francisco, Calif., Nov. 3, 1920. Dr. Hereward Carrington. 504 West 111th St. New York City. Dear Dr. Carrington. Enclosed is the print I promised you of the "Thought Photograph" taken by a Committee composed in part of members of the Council of the California Psychical Research Society, in May, 1919.

The object developed proved to be the one previously written down and handed to Dr. Collins. Yours very truly, Vincent Jones, Frank T. Collins, D.O., J. C. Anthony, M.D., Cecil E.
