The stimulus was a vertical, straight, red line, 17 cm. long and about 2 mm. wide, which for 60 msec. was projected onto a medium grey screen 2 m. from S. Fixating the midpoint of the line S reported that the line lengthened upwards and downwards from the point of fixation to full length and then shortened to the point of fixation. The measured time of lengthening-shortening with fixation of the midpoint was identical with that of fixation of the nethermost point of the same line.
