Abstract
THE larger and more interesting part of this book deals with the problem of the localisation of sound. We all know that we, in common with other animals having the sense of hearing, can, with considerable accuracy, determine the direction from which a sound comes to us. We hear a lark, and after a little feeling about, if we may use such an expression, we are certain that the bird is not far from a place in the sky to which we can confidently point, and examining with our eyes the region near that point we soon see the lark.
