Series of March 11, 1929

1. _Agt._, a fountain which, were it taken alone, might be taken for a

tree, standing in what superficially appears like a long shallow

tub-like structure (Fig. 53); _Per._, a long, shallow tub, with two

tree-like objects above it and on its rim, (2) a drawing, the upper

portion of which parts in the center and leans to either side, as does

the fountain. The tree or plant-like objects are both said to “shine,”

which does not so well comport with a tree or plant as with a fountain

sparkling in the sunshine (Fig. 53a).

2. _Agt._, a melon on an inclined plane, having a stem and leaf on the

stem; _Per._, three drawings: (1) what suggests the leaf and stem of the

original twice over, (2) an unnameable figure, but slanting like the

original, (3) what looks like some kind of fruit with stem, also

slanting like the original.

3. _Agt._, the figure 6 followed by the mark indicating _per cent_, not

single-line drawn but having breadth as if cut out of cardboard; _Per._,

the letter F, a failure except for the curious parallel that this also

is formed as if made with strips of cardboard.

4. _Agt._, a fishhook (Fig. 78); _Per._, (1) a figure very much like the

fishhook except that the barb is transformed into a tiny flower (Fig.

78a).

5. _Agt._, an obelisk (Fig. 79); _Per._, two drawings, the first of

which shows the three long lines of the obelisk but with a slight

curvature (Fig. 79a).[18]

6. _Agt._, as in Figure 80; _Per._, as in Figure 80a. Only point of

resemblance the two angles formed by the legs of the reclining seat.

7. _Agt._, what was probably intended to represent a German

_Pickelhaube_ (Fig. 5); _Per._, what the accompanying script called a

“Knight’s helmet”; very similar (Fig. 5a).

8. _Agt._, a row of five pillars (shown with a rather extraordinary

perspective slant), each mainly indicated by three or four vertical

parallel lines, an entablature above (Fig. 132); _Per._, four

pillar-like objects constructed of vertical parallel lines, three to

five, the presumed pillars having no entablature but in themselves and

additional lines showing the same slant as in the original. The presumed

pillars are likewise nearly equally spaced, but are of unequal heights,

indicating that the percipient’s impression was a visual one and that

she had no clear idea what she was drawing (Fig. 132a).

9. _Agt._, presumably a palm tree (Fig. 8); _Per._, two objects hard to

name, but each in a general way curiously like the original, even to the

bend in what is presumably the trunk, though it is not the same bend

(Fig. 8a).
