Abstract
As supplementary to the interesting note in NATURE of February 20 on children's drawings, I may mention that some children of my acquaintance show what seems a strong native tendency to reverse right and left in drawing such letters as L and J, making them J and U. It is possible this confusion is akin to that confusion of right and left which one first feels on using a mirror for toilet purposes, as shaving, &c.
