Abstract
EIGHTEEN months ago, the University of London Council for Psychical Investigation arranged a demonstration of fire-walking, with the view of obtaining precise information upon its scientific aspects. Descriptions of the condition of the feet of the performer, Kuda Bux, before and after the walk, and results of some physical observations, were given in NATURE of September 21 and 28, 1935 (136, 468, 521). As the observations were not altogether conclusive, two more demonstrations were arranged by the University of London Council for Psychical Investigation through Mr. Harry Price, honorary secretary of the Council, in the grounds of Mr. Alex. Dribbell at Carshalton, Surrey, on April 8 and 10.
