Abstract
As an illustrative instance of the peculiarities akin to stammering, referred to in Mr. Stone's lecture in last week's NATURE (p. 559), I may mention the case of an old Scotch lady whom I knew some years ago, and who was in the habit of interpolating at frequent intervals in her talk the wholly irrelevant words “This that here there ye ken.” She herself evidently made use of the words with perfect unconsciousness of their irrelevancy; indeed I doubt whether, if challenged, she would have admitted using them at all.
