Abstract
THE article on “Dowsing Experiments” by Foulkes1 describes some work with which I was concerned and reflects the considerable effort involved in the planning and subsequent analysis of the trial. It does not, however, bring out some of the things which went wrong, which both modify and add to Foulkes's account and which illustrate problems which future experimenters would presumably wish to avoid. My part in this work was the carrying out of the statistical analysis and data presentation which Foulkes reports and it is with these aspects that I am concerned. My remarks are made after reference back to notes I made during the analysis period.
