Ebsbt  Mach,  a  prominent  representative  of  the  experi-
mental school,  also  carries  back  oar  problem  to  a  special
time-A«!iiJV  or  feeling,  "  as  siKH'ial  as  tiiat  of  color."*  He  says
we  can  separate  the  rhythm  of  a  melody  from  the  tone,  as
much  n»  the  contour  from  a  painting,  and  that  this  would  not
be  possible  were  the  rhythm  not  a  separate  series.  He  sng-
gestA  that  there  may  be  in  the  ear  some  accommodation  ap-
paratus like  that  of  the  eye,  which  may  be  the  organ  of  the
temporal  sense.  Time- sense,  therefore,  would  be,  and  is
dlOMly  allied  to  the  workings  of  attention  ;  certain  "  fixa-
tion '*  sejisalions  arise  from  this  ac-commodation  organ,  vary-
ing according  to  intensity,  duration,  pause,  etc. ;  a  greater
amount  of  attention  always  indicates  the  later  impression;
this  happens  by  reason  of  aHsmnation  with  sense  of  fatigue
of  the  organ.  *'But  adapted  condition'*  would  in  time  be
called  np  by  external  happenings,  as  in  eye* adaptation  and
Ame  cailedup  ear- marks  thus  give  us  temporal  distance  and
■eqnenoe,  in  the  same  way  as  we  get  visual  distant^  and  per-
spective.'

Dn.  Hcoo  MuNSTEBBEBG  finds  in  respiration  a  solution  of
Ibe  time-problem  (analogous  to  Machos  theory  above)  which
