I. 
i. It is absolutely necessary that ail experiments should be 
recorded in detail during, or immediately after, their performance. 
1. It is highly important to note the physical and mental condi¬ 
tion of the expérimenter or experimenters. 
3. The time and place of ail experiments must be noted; also 
the State of the weather, and generally ail conditions which might 
conceivably hâve any resuit upon the experiment either as adju¬ 
vants to or causes of the resuit, or as inhibiting it, or as sources of 
error. 
4. The A.-. A.*, will not take official notice of any experi¬ 
ments which are not thus properly recorded. 
5. It is not necessary at this stage for us to déclaré fully the 
ultimate end of our researchesj nor indeed would it be understood 
by those who hâve not become proficient in these elementary 
courses. 
6. The expérimenter is encouraged to use his own intelligence, 
and not to rely upon any other person or persons, however distin- 
guished, even among ourselves. 
7. The written record should be intelligently prepared so that 
others may benefit from its study. 
8. The Book John St John published in the first number of 
the “Equinox” is an example of this kind of record by a very 
advanced student. It is not as simply written as we could wish, but 
will show the method. 
9. The more scientific the record is, the better. Yet the émo¬ 
tions should be noted, as being some of the conditions. 
Let then the record be written with sincerity and carej thus with 
practice it will be found more and more to approximate to thé 
idéal.
