PREFACE
About two thirds of this study has been published at different
times in various German scientific periodicals, chiefly in the Zeit-
schrift fiir Psychologie und Physiologie der Sinnesorgane. The
author has long hesitated to present in book form the results
of his labor in this remote corner of scientific investigation
because the interest in these problems seems to be neither
intense nor general. This lack of interest on the part
of the scientific public, however, is not due to the unimpor-
tance of the subject, but rather to a wide-spread conviction
that all the problems ‘pertaining to it were solved half a cen-
tury ago and that therefore nothing problematic is left. For
years during which—since his student days—these pro-
blems have been in the mind of the writer, he has belonged
to an exceedingly small minority of scientific men, who have
not permitted themselves to become captives of this convic-
tion. But since this minority is gradually increasing in num-
ber, and since professional friends have encouraged the writer
he has decided to lay before the public the results of his in-
vestigations in a continuous exposition of his theory as far as
it goes at present. It is natural that he has preferred to do
this in the English language, since nearly all his previous
publications concerning it are in German.
The author does not pretend to present in this book a
complete, perfect, and final solution of the problem concern-
ing the mechanics of the inner ear. His farthest reaching
hopes will be fulfilled if he succeeds in impressing upon the
reader’s mind the fact that there are here still problems left
for solution and in giving these problems such a clear and
definite formulation that the interest of others will be turned
towards them. There is little hope for a final solution of
these problems except by the co-operation of many investi-
\7
gators. The contents of this book are arranged from a peda-
gogical rather than from a logical point of view. The author
does not intend to present a systematic representation of his
own ideas for comparison with the ideas of others, but rather
a series of lectures as he would deliver them before a class of
college students, not presupposing any knowledge or any in-
terest but what a somewhat advanced college student might
be expected to possess. A reader who should prefer to make
himself acquainted with the contents of this book from an-
other point of view, will be able to do this by the aid of the
index added.
The author has attempted to omit as much as possible
everything of a polemic nature. His criticism of the views
of other investigators may be found in his previous publica-
tions. In this book he does not propose to record the views
of other scientists, but the conclusions which he has reached
himself after more than a decade of thought concerning these
problems. For the reader who might be interested in the
development of the author’s thought concerning these prob-
lems, he has added at the end of the book a list of those pub-
lications of his own which are directly concerned with the
problems here presented.
The author hopes that this booklet will help to break
down the barrier of dogmatism which has too long stood in
the way of progress in this field of scientific inquiry, and
which is still far from being a thing of the past. It is truly
dogmatism to profess that the application of so simple a
theorem as that of Fourier can do justice-to an attempt at
comprehending the mechanical processes underlying the won-
derfully complicated and unfortunately only superficially
known phenomena of audition.

THE MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR
Everyone knows that the part of our body which in ordi-
nary life we call the ear and which anatomists call the pinna,
is not the organ of hearing but a mere ap-
The external ear pendage to the organ. Its chief utility
consists in the fact that it aids us in dis-
tinguishing sounds coming from a source in front of us from
sounds in our rear. We know how much more difficult it is
to understand the words of a speaker behind us than the
words of one who stands before us. We can reverse this con-
dition by forming of our hands leaves similar to the external
ears, but naturally larger and placing them opposite the ears,
that is in front of the opening, the auditory passage. Then,
sounds from the rear can enter the passage and reach the
tympanum with a much greater force than sounds coming
from the front. Animals, being able to move their external
ears, can use them, of course, to greater advantage than hu-
man beings.
The organ of hearing—in the narrower sense of
the word—that is, the anatomical structure within which the
ends of the auditory nerve fibres receive
The tube con- their peripheral excitations, is to be
taining the sense found stretched out along the central
Geesuis) long line of a tube which is very narrow rel-
and narrow
ative to its length. This tube is called
by the anatomists the cochlea, because
it is not built in the form of a straight line, but coiled
up like the tube of a snail shell. The advantage of its being
coiled up in this way is obviously not to be sought in its
mechanic—or rather hydrodynamic—function. At least, no
(1)
2 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
one, to the writer’s knowledge, has ever expressed himseli
as inclined to look for it there. For its hydrodynamic func-
tion it is clearly of no great importance whether the tube is
curved or straight, and we shall speak of it in the following
for the most part as if it were straight, in order to simplify
the discussion. The real advantage of this shape of the tube
is doubtless a mere anatomical one, it being possible thus to
find a better place for it in the base of the skull.
We must, in order to understand the function of this
tube, be aware of the fact that it is filled with a watery fluid,
lymph, and that its walls consist of hard
The contents of Unyielding bone. Now, when we go
the tube, a fluid, through the literature of the subject, we
is incompressible often see writers speak of waves in the fluid
which are said to pass along the tube as
air waves move in a tube filled with air. Views of
this kind cannot, of course, contribute towards an un-
derstanding of the process of stimulation of the periph-
eral nerve ends. They are not rational considerations of the
facts before us, but theoretical dreams, forgetting the physical
conditions of the case. Let us regard the velocity of the
sound in such a fluid as that of the inner ear as about fourteen
hundred meters, let us remember that the whole length of the
tube is only a couple of centimeters, let us understand, then,
that even with rather high tones of short wave lengths—
beyond the musical range—the total length of the tube is only
a small part of the spatial length of the waves said to travel
up and down the tube; and we shall admit at once that to
speak of tone waves travelling in the lymph up and down
the tube is like speaking of a horse race which is to take place
within a dog kennel. We have to follow the custom of the
physicists who in such cases neglect the compressibility and
elasticity of the small volume of fluid altogether. We must,
therefore, regard the fluid in the cochlea as being of identical
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 3
density throughout at any given time, that is practically, as
unelastic, incompressible.

Fig.1. The external and the middle ear
The walls of the tube consist of hard, unyielding bone,

communicate with (The fact that the tube communicates
the middle ear with the semicircular canals and the oth-
er parts‘of the labyrinth can here be neg-
lected, since all these communicating cavities are also enclos-
ed in bone, not possessing any windows.) On the other side
of these windows there is the air of the middle ear. Let us
now consider at once what could happen to the fluid in the
tube if rhythmical changes of pressure in the external air (a
“tone”) caused, through the tympanum, like changes (of
condensation and rarefaction) in the air of the middle ear.
Let us at present, however, consider this under the imaginary
assumption of no chain of ossicles existing in the middle ear.
What was said about waves in the fluid of the tube holds
good to some extent also for the air in the middle ear. That which
occurs there is the same as that which occurs, say, in a bicycle
4 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
pump, that is, an alternate condensation and rarefaction of all the
particles of air almost simultaneously. This condensation and
rarefaction always acts in the same _ sense (positive
or negative) on both windows of the tube. According to
the laws of hydrodynamics no motion inthe fluid of the tube
can result from the difference in size of the two windows. It
is hardly comprehensible, therefore, why we find in literature
lengthy discussions of the question whether it is the round
or the oval window through which “the tone waves’ enter
the inner ear. They do not enter through either window
since they do not occur in the middle ear, the volume of this
cavity being too small to contain whole tone waves. Only
after complete destruction of the tympanum would the ques-
tion as to the manner in which an air wave strikes the two
windows attain practical importance. Under normal condi-
tions we must regard all the air particles in the middle ear
as being, at any time, of identical density, and, thus, as unable
to produce any movement in the inner ear.
If there were no ossicles, the fluid in the tube would
remain practically motionless. But to the membrane of the
oval window is attached the plate of the
Disturbances stirrup which has a somewhat rigid con-
within the tube — nection with the tympanum. The result
are caused by
motion of
the stirrup
is that every movement of the tympanum
is accompanied by a movement of the
stirrup in the same (positive or negative)
direction. Whenever the tympanum moves inwards, the air
in the middle ear is, of course, somewhat condensed. But
this condensation or rarefaction has no relevant influence on
the fluid in the tube, as before mentioned. The alternate
condensation and rarefaction of the air in the middle ear, re-
sulting from like processes in the external auditory passage,
is an unavoidable, but functionally negligible by-product of
the mechanical process in question, bearing no direct rela-
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 5
tion to the function of the tube. It is the movement of the
stirrup which causes the disturbances in the fluid of the tube
which we have soon to study in detail. And this motion of
the stirrup is made possible only through the mediation of
solid bodies, the auditory ossicles.
The bony connection between the stirrup and the tym-
panum would serve its purpose of causing movements in
the fluid of the tube whatever might be
The auditory the special structure of this connecting

system oflevers in such a particular manner that it acts as
a lever (or system of levers), the large
arm, so to speak, being attached to the tympanum, the small
arm to the stirrup. This effect, however, is produced in dif-
ferent animals in different ways. In birds, for example, (Fig.
2) there is no chain of three little bones, but only a single
bone, a rod bearing an oval plate. The leverage of this sim-
ple connection is explained by the fact that the tympanum
and the window plate are not in parallel planes. The far

more complicated connection by means of three links of a
chain of bones in most of the mammals has been theoretically
studied by various investigators and found to result in a sim-
ilar, but probably more delicately adjustable leverage than
the simpler arrangement in birds. The advantage of the lev-
6 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
erage is easily understood. To cause a fluid to move along
a narrow tube requires a considerable force because of the
friction resulting from the narrowness of the passage.
The :extent of movement, on the other hand, may be
of any minuteness, the nerve ends certainly being sensitive
to the very slightest curving of their tufts of hairs of which
we shall have to speak again. It is of advantage, therefore, to
gain force at the expense of magnitude of displacement.
Someone might here raise the question: Why are there
two windows when only one of them has a solid connection
with the tympanum? The answer to this
Why would not question is very simple. If there were
one window not a second window, the stirrup could
be sufficient? not move at all. Imagine a bottle filled
with water up to the stopper and the
stopper fitting the neck most accurately. Would it be possi-
ble to drive the stopper farther in? The water being incom-
pressible, it would not be possible for a moderate force
to drive a perfectly fitting stopper in any more than to pull it
out. The second window, closed by a flexible membrane,
is therefore necessary if the movements of the stirrup and
of the fluid in the tube are to take place. If it were not for
movements of the fluid, the round window would be super-
fluous. It is, however, not an essential condition that the sec-
ond window should open on the middle ear and not perhaps
directly on the external air space; for instance, on the exter-
nal auditory passage, or anywhere on the skull. But it is
an essential condition that the one window containing
the stirrup plate open on a drum and that the plate be
rigidly connected with the external membrane of this
drum. Thus every condensation or rarefaction of the
air outside the drum must result through movements of the
tympanum in like condensations or rarefactions inside the
drum; the movements of the tympanum must result in move-
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 7
ments of the stirrup, and consequently in movements of the
fluid in the tube. If the tympanum is destroyed to such an
extent that the middle ear can no longer act even imperfectly
as a drum, movements of the fluid in the tube must be dif-
ficult to produce. The organ is then deprived of its normal
manner of functioning—a defect which does not necessarily
involve total deafness, yet certainly a great impairment of
the sense of hearing.
We naturally do not wonder at the fact that the round
window is arranged in the simplest way possible, that is,
opening on the middle ear not far from the oval window.
Let us now attempt to determine what movements would
occur in the tube, caused by movements of the stirrup, if
this tube were a perfectly plain tube, con-
ineovement taining nothing whatever but an incom-
of the fluid in pressible fluid. It is a decided advantage
a plain tube to study first a case as simple as can be
imagined. We are sure that, thus, the
elementary foundations of our thought will be clear and not
confused by the influence of a complexity of conditions and
a sum of powerful prejudices which almost inevitably ac-
i a

company a complexity of conditions. Let us try to keep clear
of such influences. In figure 3 we see the anatomical facts
of our imaginary case diagrammatically represented: a long
and narrow tube, two windows at one end, one of these win-
dows containing the stirrup, the other end of the tube closed.
8 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
The question is this: What will happen to the particles of fluid
in the tube when the stirrup moves slightly inwards or out-
wards? This is a problem which can be answered either
on the basis of our general knowledge of similar processes
or by means of a special experiment. Let us first try the
former way. When the stirrup is pushed inwards and the
round window outwards, the liquid near the windows must
certainly move in the direction indicated by the arrows in the
figure. Of course, the direction of the movement would be
the opposite if the movement of the stirrup changes its sign
and pulls instead of pushes. But what would happen in the
fluid at the other end of the tube? At x or even at y? The
answer to the question is simple: Nothing would happen.
No movement of any kind could possibly occur there, since
there is no sufficient cause why any movement should occur.
The friction of the fluid against the walls of the tube, which is
quite considerable in a narrow tube, must prevent any spread-
ing of the disturbance beyond a very near limit. That is, when-
ever the stirrup moves back and forth, those particles of the
fluid which are in the nearest path leading from the oval
to the round window must move accordingly. All the rest
of the fluid remains motionless.
In order to demonstrate the facts just mentioned to those
finding difficulty in understanding that from the general laws
of hydromechanics nothing else could re-
A simple sult in the case in question but what we
experiment have just described, we may perform the
following experiment. A box containing
white clay in a plastic condition has two circular openings
on one side, not far from each other, as shown by figure 4
in cross-section. We now press, by means of a piston,
into one of the openings, A, a small quantity of colored clay,
then a small quantity of white clay, and again colored clay
until the latter becomes visible on the outside of the box
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 9
at the other opening, B. In our figure we see at a and b
the colored clay pressed in first. The part protruding be-
yond the outside of the box is cut away. At c we see the
white clay pressed in afterwards, and at f the advance guard,
so to speak, of the colored clay pressed in last. What has
happened within the box is obviously this. The colored clay
pressed in first, collects inside the box near A’ in the direc-
tion of B. A corresponding amount of the white clay with
Fig. 4. An experiment with
plastic clay
which the box was filled has been pushed out through the
opening B. The white clay pressed in next forces up the
colored clay somewhat as a mass of glass is blown up in a
glass factory to form a bottle. This white clay is forced up in
turn by the succeeding colored clay, the “bottle” of colored
clay increasing its dimensions at the same time. During this
whole time and afterwards the total mass moves in the di-
rection of B. However, the particles of clay to the left,
pie) UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
nearer the openings, move much more quickly than those
farther to the right. This is seen from the fact that the
left wall d of the white “bottle” has been separated entirely
from the opening A and is just getting ready to disappear
altogether through the opening B, whereas the right wall e
is merely beginning to sever its connection with A. We
have here a simple experimental proof for the statement of
the preceding paragraph that friction prevents the spreading
of the motion beyond narrow limits, causing it to occur as
near the two openings as possible. Although the experiment
in this form does not show it, the reader hardly doubts that
somewhat farther to the right, say six inches from the open-
ings, no motion whatsoever has occurred during the whole
time. The quickest motion, of course, is in this particular
case not found at the extreme left, at g, but about a fourth
of an inch to the right, since the friction at g is too great.
Without entering into a detailed study of the hydrodynamic
problem which confronts us here, in which friction against
the walls, internal friction in the fluid, and the momentum
of the fluid play their roles, let it be sufficient to say here
that the motion is practically limited to the portion of the
tube near the windows in accordance with the general law
of nature that whatever occurs, occurs with the least pos-
sible expenditure of energy. Some clay is pressed in at A.
The same quantity has to pass out at B. This can be made
possible by many kinds of displacement of the particles with-
in the box. But only one form of displacement becomes
actual, the one that requires the smallest amount of work to
be done by the piston at A. And this form of displacement
consists in the displacement being confined to the neighbor-
hood of the openings.
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR Il
Let us now consider another imaginary case which will
contribute towards a better understanding of the processes
actually occurring in the ear. Suppose
Mhelehecwore a part of the tube, near the windows, to
rigid partition be divided by an inflexible partition, as
within the tube shown in figure 5. It is self-evident that
in this case every movement of the stir-
rup would cause the particles of fluid in the upper and lower
division of the tube to move in the directions of the arrows,
parallel to the partition; and the particles at y, at the end of
the partition, to move up or down. But the fluid farther on
in the undivided tube would remain motionless, as in the
former case, since there is no sufficient cause why it should
move. If the partition extended farther, the only change re-
Fig. 5. A rigid partition in the tube
sulting would be a diminution of the length of that part of
the tube where the fluid remains permanently motionless.
If the partition extended to x (Fig. 5), leaving only a small
opening of communication between the upper and lower division,
all the fluid within the tube would have to move whenever
the stirrup moves. If the partition extended throughout the
tube, leaving no communication whatever between the two
divisions, no movement of the fluid could then take place, of
course; but no piston-like movement of the stirrup could
then take place either.
12 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
Let us now imagine a third case. Suppose a partition
to divide the tube lengthwise into two divisions, leaving,
however, a small opening of communica-
Mheletectiol a tion between the divisions at x. Suppose
flexible, but inelas- further this partition to be neither per-
tic partition with- fectly rigid like a wall of hard bone nor
in the tube as readily yielding and in turn contract-
ing as a thin rubber membrane, but to be
of the physical nature of a soft leather strap somewhat
loosely stretched out between the opposite sides of the
tube to which it is assumed to be well attached. To have
something definite in mind, let the reader think, for compar-
ison of its function, of a leathcr-seated chair. If you press
from below, the seat yields and bulges upwards; but
soon it stops in spite of your effort. If now you sit down
on the chair, the seat bulges downwards; but again, it
soon stops—how could it otherwise be used for the support
of your weight? But what is particularly important to note
here, is the fact that the leather seat, after it has bulged
either way, may continue to remain thus until some ex-
ternal force acts upon it again from the other side. Now
let us consider the movements which would occur in the
fluid of a tube, divided into two divisions by a partition
of the nature just described. If the partition could yield
indefinitely, the case would obviously be practically the same
as the first one we studied—without any partition. That
is, the fluid would move near the two windows and the part
of the partition suspended between moving masses of fluid
would move with the fluid. Farther on where the fluid re-
mains motionless the partition would remain motionless too.
But we made the assumption that the partition, like the seat
of a leather-seated chair, can move only within certain
narrow limits up and down. Now, the result of this condi-
tion will be this. When the stirrup begins moving inwards,
MECHAN:CS OF THE INNER EAR 13
the part of the partition next to the windows must follow
the movement of the fluid and move downwards. But soon
it has reached its lower limit. Consequently it acts now as
an unyielding partition, the effect of which we studied in
our second case above. The fluid just above and below this
temporarily unyielding part can now move only horizontally,
but the particles of fluid next to the end of this now motionless
piece move down and push the underlying piece of the par-
tition down until it has reached its lower limit. And so,
gradually, further and further pieces of the partition come
Fig. 6. The partition moves within an upper
and a lower limit
down until the stirrup stops moving inwards. Figure 6
shows a number of successive stages of the position of the
partition during this process. The vertical scale in this rep-
resentation is, of course, enormously exaggerated relative to
the horizontal scale. But at once after stopping, the stirrup
begins to move in the opposite direction. At once the par-
ticles of fluid next to the windows (not those which have
moved down last) move upwards and take the corresponding
part of the partition with them until it has reached its upper
limit. Now the following parts come up, and so on in exactly
the same way as before, except that we have now an upward
instead of a downward movement, — until the stirrup
stops moving in this direction. Let us remember by all
14 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
means, because a mistake made here in our comprehension
of the process would result in serious errors later, that the
bulging of the partition, whether up or down, begins in-
evitably as near the two windows as possible, and that fur-
ther pieces can bulge in either direction only under the
condition that all the pieces nearer the windows have already
reached their limit in that same direction.
We made at the beginning of the last paragraph the
assumption that there was a small opening between the two
divisions at the extreme end of the tube.
A safety valve Let us see what purpose such an opening
could serve. What would be the result
of an extraordinarily large movement of the stirrup, so large
that the whole length of the partition would reach its—upper
or lower—limit of position before the stirrup ceased to move
in the same direction? The result would be either an enforc-
ed stop of the movement of the stirrup or, if the external
force acting on the tympanum and stirrup was too violent, a
bursting of the partition. The latter disastrous result, how-
ever, can to a considerable extent be guarded against by the
opening in question. As soon as the total length of the par-
tition has bulged the fluid will begin to flow through this
opening from one division of the tube into the other, until
the stirrup stops moving in the same direction. Such an
opening therefore can serve as a kind of safety valve for the
protection of the partition.
After having studied the hydromechanical function of
several imaginary tubes with divers interior equipments, let
us now turn to a careful survey of the
The anatomy and facts which the anatomists have discover-
physiology of ed for us concerning the structure of the

trudes from diametrically opposite sides of the bony wall of
the tube, on the left side more than on the right. But the
bone does not protrude far enough to actually cut off the
lower part of the tube from the upper. While, therefore, we
do not find a hard, inflexible partition, we find indeed some
kind of a partition since the space between the bony protru-
sions is filled with a delicate structure which we shall have
to study somewhat in detail. This structure, which we
shall always refer to hereafter as “the partition” in the
inner ear, is customarily spoken of under the name of its
discoverer as the organ of Corti, The lower part of this par-
tition has been shown to be a membrane, generally called the
basilar membrane. This is obviously the strongest part of
the partition, capable more than any of the other elements
of structure to resist a pressure of the fluid above or be-
low. But we must not think that this membrane is the main
part of the partition considering its volume. It is rather
small in bulk compared with the rest. Above the membrane
we see a triangular structure, something like two pillars which
have fallen towards each other. This structure is usually
called the rods of Corti. Its mechanical significance becomes
at once clear to us when we see at its sides the delicate end
organs of the auditory nerve fibres. These end organs would
obviously be crushed by the push of the fluid which occurs
now from above, now from below, as we have seen, if they
were not braced by this arch. No better protection could be
devised than this triangular structure which effectually pre-
serves the natural form of the soft tissues as the skeleton
does in the total animal body, without interfering with a
slight bending or compression of the tissues of the partition.
On the upper side of the partition, opposite the basilar mem-
brane, we notice another membrane, but much more delicate
in structure, easily torn to pieces when sections are made
for the miscroscope. This membrane touches the tufts of hairs
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 17
which are the extreme peripheral parts of the sensory
organs. This membrane, however, is firmly attached to the
left side of the partition only. Its right end is free or seems
to be almost free. The kind of action exerted by this mem-
brane upon the hair tufts can only be guessed. The real con-
nections between, and the physical properties of, these tissues
are not well enough known. We may perhaps make this
action a little clearer by assuming that the upper membrane,
when the partition bulges upwards, pulls the hairs slight-
ly, and that a bulging of the partition downwards means
merely a relief from this pull. It is hardly worth while, how-
ever, to enter into details of a function which cannot be more
than hypothetical since there are no data upon which to
base any more definite theory. But there is little doubt, that
the points between the tufts of hairs and the membrane in
question are to be regarded as in the strictest sense the per-
iphery of the sensory apparatus of hearing. And we shall
scarcely make a grave mistake in assuming that a double
bulging, back and forth in the vertical direction, of the
partition causes a single shock in all those nerve fibres whose
termini are located in this part of the partition, and that
somewhere in the neurons a new process, perhaps a kind of
chemical process, is set up if more than one of such shocks
are received in quick succession, that the special character
of this new process is dependent on the frequency with which
these shocks follow each other, and that thus we perceive a
definite tone, occupying—according to the frequency of shocks
received—a definite point in the total series of sensations of
hearing.
18 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
In the preceding paragraph we studied briefly the ana-
tomical elements of the partition in their mutual relations. We
now have to get a definite idea of the
The physical physical properties of the partition as a
properties of whole in its relation to the surrounding
the partition fluid. These properties depend, of course,
as a whole on the properties of its elements. The
partition as a whole can certainly not be
regarded as perfectly rigid and unyielding to pressure. It con-
sists of tissues too soft to be unyielding. On the other hand,
we cannot possibly assume that under the influence of pres-
sure the partition could bulge to any large extent, for
this would be disastrous to the delicate end organs of the
nerve fibres. We could hardly make a mistake, then, in as-
suming that the partition can yield, but only withm very nar-
row limits up as well as down, even if we did not know
anything about the physical properties of the anatomical
elements. We know, however, that the basilar membrane is
a comparatively tough structure, probably capable of consid-
erable resistance. We are justified, then, in our conviction
that the whole partition bulges in response to pressure
but resists such pressure as soon as a certain rather narrow
limit of displacement is reached.
Here, however, arises another question of the greatest
importance, which, unfortunately, cannot be answered with
anything approaching accuracy. This is the question as to
the elasticity of the partition. Of course, all the elasticity
the partition can possibly have must be the elasticity of the
basilar membrane. The basilar membrane is the only one of
the anatomical elements of the partition which might have
a tendency to restore spontaneously the whole partition to
its original position after the pressure causing the displace-
ment has ceased and before any pressure in the opposite
direction has had time to act towards this result.
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 19
There is only one way of deciding for our present pur-
pose the question as to the elasticity of the basilar mem-
brane. We must recall our knowledge
Is the basilar of the elastic properties of similar mem-
membrane elastic? branous tissues which are found in divers
parts of the human body and elsewhere
in the organic world. Now, we know that there are plenty
of membranes in the body which, when stretched within
certain limits, show a tendency to return to the original
shape. But they never remain in a stretched condition, that
is, under tension, for any length of time. Indeed, they would
become permanently lengthened if they remained thus. This
is the consequence of a universal biological law. We may,
for instance, bend a sapling and expect it to straighten itself
as soon as we let it go, because of the elasticity of the
stretched tissues of the convex side and the compressed tis-
sues of the concave side. But if we tie it in this bent po-
sition to another tree and return after a year and cut
the tie, we find that it has adjusted itself to the position
we gave it. This biological fact does away at once with cer-
tain theories found quite frequently in physical and other
textbooks, which speak of the basilar membrane as con-
sisting of a great number of stretched strings, comparable
to the strings in a piano. These theories assert, after having
introduced, in opposition to the laws of biology, the idea
of a permanent, constant tension of the basilar membrane,
that these different strings—as in a piano—are under different
tension and differently weighted and that they serve accord-
ingly as resonators, responding sympathetically to the va-
rious sounds of the external world. However pretty this
theory of “the piano in the ear” may appear, authors who
expect their readers to accept it as the truth should first of all
try to convince them of the possibility of living animal tissues
retaining their tension for any length of time instead of ad-
zO UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
justing themselves to the permanent stretching and thus los-
ing their tension, as all living tissues do. We shall not, of
course, entertain for a moment this idea of the basilar mem-
brane being under constant tension, since our alm is not
unreality, but reality. We need not, therefore, discuss any
further the assumption of the presence of resonators in the
inner ear, which falls with the above rejected, preposterous
assumption of a permanent tension. That the membrane is
capable of resistance, as it probably is, means something
very different from the assertion that it is under constant
tension, which is biologically impossible.
The actual question before us is evidently the question
as to the elasticity of the partition as a whole. Now, we
have seen that the only element of it
Is the partition which, according to its structure, may be
as a whole regarded as elastic, is the basilar mem-
elastic? brane. This membrane, however, we have
found to be quite a small part of the bulk -
of the partition. If the partition is displaced by an external
force and, this force having ceased, is caused to return to
its original place by the tension which the basilar membrane
has just suffered, such a spontaneous return movement must
be greatly retarded by the bulk of inelastic tissues of the
partition which the membranous part of it has to drag or
shove along with itself. A spontaneous return of the par-
tition to its normal position must be therefore very slow
when compared with the velocity of a displacement caused
by a rather powerful external influence from the stirrup.
Let us, then, keep in mind that with respect to the elastic
properties of the partition there are only two alternatives:
Either the basilar membrane is practically inelastic; then
the partition as a whole is inelastic and cannot sponta-
neously return to its original position after having been
displaced. Or the basilar membrane is elastic; then the par-
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 21
tition can spontaneously return after having been displaced,
but with a velocity that is only very small compared with
the velocity of its displacement. Of the two alternatives
the latter seems to be the more probable.
We saw on a previous page, in our second imaginary
case of a partition, that the fluid moves along the unyielding
partition, causing friction on the sur-
faces of the partition. The same friction

must be suffered by any part of the real
surfaces of the
partition from partition as soon as it has reached its
the friction upper or lower limit and as long as the
of the fluid stirrup continues to move in the same
direction, pushing the fluid on over the
initial parts of the partition. If we had to design an ap-
paratus to function thus, would we not see that the sur-
faces of the partition were sufficiently protected so that the
rush of the fluid over them could not injure them? It is
interesting to raise this question of protection with respect
to the actual partition in the tube. If we look above at fig-
ure 7, representing a cross-section of the partition, we
notice that the lower surface of the partition is well
protected from injury by friction of the fluid by a part of its
own structure, the tough basilar membrane. The upper sur-
face, however, with its delicate sensory cells would be ex-
posed to injuries by friction were it not for the membrane of
Reissner which we see stretching across the upper division
of the tube. The space between this membrane and the
partition does not communicate with the rest of the upper
division or with the lower division. It would therefore be
really more nearly correct, in speaking of a partition divid-
ing the tube into two divisions which communicate through
an opening at the extreme end, to call the total body between
the membrane of Reissner and the basilar membrane the
partition. No movements perpendicular to the plane of the
22 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
drawing can occur in the fluid below the Reissner membrane.
The fluid here can only move up and down, pushing or pull-
ing the organ of Corti into its limit of displacement. No fric-
tion of the kind above referred to, which might do injury to
the delicate tissues of the organ of Corti, can therefore take
place, and the problem of protection from friction is thus
solved. We shall, however, in order to make our language as
simple as possible, restrict the term partition to the organ of
Corti, neglecting the membrane of Reissner, since this mem-
brane, aside from the important protection which it offers to
the tissues below, does not seem to possess any function
whatever.
We saw on a previous page that an imaginary partition
which is able to yield to the pressure of the fluid only within
certain limits would be exposed to the dan-
The safety valve ger of breaking whenever an extraordina-
rily powerful external force tended to
cause a movement of the stirrup which would displace more
fluid than the yielding partition could make room for, and
that this danger might be avoided or at least greatly lessened
by an opening of communication between the two divisions at
the end of the tube. It is interesting to learn from the re-
searches of the anatomists that such an opening—a safety
valve, as we may call it—actually exists at the extremity of
the tube of the cochlea.
We may now, after making ourselves familiar with the
structural elements of the inner ear and their physical prop-
erties, enter into a discussion of the actual function of the
organ.

We have thus far taken into consideration only a single
movement of the stirrup, in either direction. We must now
study the result of a rhythmical movement
of the stirrup, back and forth, a number of

parallel to the plane of the paper. In fig-
ure 8 is represented a single period of such a curve in a hor-

definite curve. What we shall have to say will apply equally
to any simple periodic movement, whether of the form of a
sinusoid or of a combination of straight lines or of any other
Fig. 8. A curve representing stirrup movement
curve connecting each maximum with the preceding and the
following minimum. The question arises then by what means
—computation, simple description in words, or otherwise—we
can obtain a clear and sufficiently detailed view of the move-
ments of the partition. What we want to know is the form
of motion for each point of the partition, and the temporal
24 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
relations existing between all the several movements. Only
thus can we obtain a definite view concerning the nervous
stimulations received by the brain as the result of a given
rhythmical movement of the stirrup. In order to find the
movements of the partition in every detail we might try com-
putation since this is the method which yields, although not
always the clearest, yet in general the most accurate results.
Our chief task, then, would be, stated again as definitely
as possible, to find out for each point of the partition which
moves at all the exact time which elapses

Let us call x the distance of any point of
the partition from the point of +, nearest the windows. The
length of the part of the partition which moves in response
to the motion of the stirrup depends, of course, on the ampli-
tude of the movement of the stirrup. This length alone is
represented in the figure. What is farther to the right re-
mains motionless. The dotted lines above and below rep-
resent the upper and lower limit of each moving point of

resents the position of the stirrup most to the left, the max-
imum, at the time B, the position of the stirrup most to the
right. The horizontal line represents, of course, the time. To
the position of the stirrup at A corresponds the position of the
partition (in figure 9) in its upper limit; to the position of
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 25
the stirrup at B the position of the partition in its lower limit.
Let us now find out when any arbitrary point +, is jerked up
and when it is jerked down, measuring the time from A. It
is obvious that the amount of fluid for which room is made
by the piece of the partition from x, to +, moving from its
upper to its lower limit is equal to the amount of fluid dis-
placed by the stirrup moving inwards through the distance
measured by y. (For convenience we place the zero point
of the system of coordinates in a minimum point of the curve.)
It would be very easy, therefore, to find the equation of inter-
dependence of x and y, if the following conditions were ful-
filled :
1. Ifthe quantity of fluid displaced were proportional to
the horizontal movement of the stirrup.

4. If the width of the partition at any point near the

Let us temporarily regard these conditions as fulfilled. If
they are fulfilled, + is proportional to y. That is, a unit of
movement of the stirrup always pushes

The equation of the curve in figure 8 is:
(11) y = c(1— cos 2unt) ;
that is, while ¢ changes from zero to _1_, y changes from
2
zero through c, 2c, and again c, back to zero. We now sub-
stitute Cx for y:
c (1—cos 2ant) = Cx, consequently :
G
(111) cos 2ant = 1 — ert
This formula permits us to calculate ¢, that is, the exact
time when any point of the partition is jerked down. But
it holds good only for the time from A to B, that is, while the
stirrup moves in one direction. As soon as the stirrup reverses
its movement a new formula has to be applied, since the move-
ment of the partition is of a kind which is mathematically
called a discontinuous function. The moment when the stir-
rup reverses its movement and the farthest point of the par-
tition has been jerked down, the function jumps, so to speak,
from this point to the beginning of the partition and the first
point, nearest the windows, is jerked up. The formula to be
used from B to C is to be derived by substituting (2c—y)
for y in (1), since + would now be proportional to (2c—vy).
We then have the following new equations:
(IV) 2c— y= Cx.
(11) y =c (1—cos 2nnt), consequently :
(V) cos 2ant = HE ISS

This {crmula is valid from B to C, that is for values of
t varying from = to 1, while the partition is being

jerked upwards. We notice that the only difference between
the right side of (III)i and the right side of (V) is the sign,
For the same + we obtain the same absolute value of cos 2rnt,
but in the one case it is positive, in the other negative. Now,
it is easy to see what this means for the time interval between
a downward and an upward jerk of any point of the partition.
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 27
Remembering that (III) is valid for jerking down, (V)
for jerking up, we notice that the arc of cos 2nt runs through
the first and second quadrant while the partition is being
jerked down, through the third and fourth quadrant while
the partition is being jerked up. Therefore, since we found
that the time of jerking down of a definite point x, and the
time of jerking up of the same point are subject to the con-
dition that cos 2mnt yields the same absolute value, but differ-
ing in sign, the time of jerking up must be found in a quad-
rant opposite to the quadrant wherein the time of jerking down
occurred, never in an adjoining quadrant; that is, if the
former time is to be found in the arc 2zmt, the latter must
be found in the arc 2an(t + a), since the addition of
7
=a to ¢ means the addition of two quadrants. The differ-
7
ence of time, therefore, is always ak. In other words, the
an
time interval from a jerk down to a jerk up and from a jerk
up to a jerk down of any definite point is with this particular
curve always the same, being exactly one half of the whole
period. We have thus found by computation the exact move-
ment of the partition in case the movement of the stirrup
is of the form of a sinusoid.
We have seen then that, provided a certain set of condi-
tions (our four provisional assumptions) is fulfilled, and pro-
vided the movement of the stirrup is of the
Summary of form of a simple sine (or cosine, as this
the foregoing means the same) curve, computation of
discussion the movement of the partition is possible.
But computation is neither particularly
clear—at least those who are not professional mathemati-
cians will think so—nor is it universally applicable, but only
in a few cases of stirrup movement, the above, the case of
straight lines connecting the maxima and minima, and a very
small number of others.

musically speaking). Even in a case like
this, by no means far fetched, rather the
contrary, computation is impossible since it would involve,
as the mathematical reader may easily convince himself, the
solution of an equation of the fifth degree in order to find the
mutually corresponding values of y and ¢ for the maxima and
minima of the curve. Without these values for the maxima
and minima, which are the points of discontinuity of the func-
tion representing the movement of the partition, we could
not proceed at all. It is out of the question, therefore, to ex-
pect that computation pure and simple, even under the four
assumptions provisionally made, will ever give us a satisfac-
tory comprehension of the function of the inner ear. We
must look for other means in order to obtain our end, an
insight into the details of movement of the partition.
Let us, then, try to represent the movement of the par-
tition in the above case as well as in others graphically. I
shall offer to the reader two methods of

ginning from next to the windows. The
First graphic horizontal axis may represent the time. I
method must warn the reader against thinking
that the figures resulting on the paper are
pictures of something that exists in the ear or elsewhere. The
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 29
figures are not pictures of existing things but merely symbols
of a function, that is, of the time when any point of the par-
tition is jerked up or down. The construction of the figure
is based on the following considerations. Let us mark on the
paper the points indicating the time when any given point
of the partition is jerked. When we shall have marked a
sufficient number of such points, we shall draw a curve
through them. But how do we find the points? The move-
ment of the stirrup is represented in figure 8. When the stir-
rup has its extreme position to the left (according to Fig.
x
Fig. to. Graph of the times when each point of the partition is jerked down
(curves of odd numbers) and up (curves of even numbers). Compare figure 8
9) and just begins to move inwards, we mark the time as
zero and the point of the partition which is jerked down also
as zero, since the point which is jerked is the point nearest
the windows. In figure 10 we find this point near a. As the
time advances (Fig. 8) the stirrup moves farther and farther
inwards, with gradually increasing and later again decreas-
ing velocity. A further point, say b, in figure 10 must be
located somewhat to the right of a and above a, since a
more distant point of the partition is represented by a higher
position of the mark in our system of coordinates, and the
30 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
fact that it is jerked later is represented by a position farther
to the right. Now, since the velocity of the stirrup increases
as shown by figure 8, the following marks have to be placed
higher than proportionate to their advance to the right. That
is, points marked off by equal steps on the partition are now
jerked successively in briefer time intervals than before.
Later approaching the time B in figure 8, the stirrup moves
again more slowly, and the marks in figure 10 advance there-
fore more rapidly towards the right, as seen in f and g. If
we now draw a complete curve through the marks a, b, c, d,
e, f, g, we convince ourselves readily that the new curve is
the same curve as the one in figure 8 from A to B. Of course,
if we have not chosen the same vertical and horizontal scales
in both figures, the new curve must appear more or less steep
than the old one. But the selection of a scale for a graphic
representation is entirely a matter of convenience. Choosing
identical scales, we simply have to transplant the first half
of the curve in figure 8 from A to B into the new figure.
But now the stirrup begins to move in the opposite di-
rection, causing the partition to be jerked upwards gradually.
The point of the partition nearest the windows is jerked up
first, the others later in regular order. Now, it can be easily
seen where we have to place the further marks in our new fig-
ure, namely k, 1, 7, k, 1, m, n. We find them, or rather immed-
iately the complete curve of which they are points, by simply
turning the second half (B to C) of the curve in figure 8 up-
side down, without, however, making any change between
right and left. In this way we go on, simply transplanting the
parts of the stirrup curve, leaving the rising ones in the same
position, but turning the falling parts upside down.
If we now desire to find out for any point of the parti-
tion, for example, for x, the exact time when it is jerked
down and when it is jerked up, all we have to do is to pass
on from this point (Fig. 10) to the right (along the dotted
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 31
line), since this direction, according to definition, represents
the time. Our first crossing of a curve (in e¢) means a jerk
down; the next crossing (in /) a jerk up; and so forth. That
is, the odd crossings mean each a jerk down, the even crossings
each a jerk up. The time intervals can then be measured
with a rule. We find in this special case that the intervals are
all equal. We have thus graphically represented the exact
movement of the partition in a case where the movement of
the stirrup is of the form of a sinusoid. The same graphic
tepresentation is applicable to any given curve, however com-
plicated it may appear. This method has universal validity.
We shall soon convince ourselves of its importance for the
analysis of a complicated curve.
We can easily learn from the graphic representation be-
fore us that under the assumptions provisionally made the
stimulation of each nerve ending can

sensation of a connecting the maxima and minima, or of
single tone (free any other shape, provided the maxima and
from overtones)? minima remain unaltered. Let us sup-
pose that each “down” means a shock to
the nerve end and that the “ups” are indifferent as to ner-
vous excitation. We see immediately (Fig. 10) that the time
interval between two shocks at any point of the partition
must be exactly the same, since each down curve would be
exactly like any other down curve, whatever the shape of
the up curve. (This result would be the same if the “ups”
meant excitation of the nerve end and the “downs” were in-
different.) That is, the particular shape of the curve rep-
resenting the movement of the stirrup, has no significance
for the question whether a single tone will be heard or not.
If all the down curves are identical, a single tone only is
32 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
audible. I remind the reader, however, that we are deriving
this conclusion on the basis of our provisional assumptions,
and further, that we are speaking here of movements of the
stirrup, not of rhythmical pressure changes of the air in the
external ear or of movements of a tuning fork or any other
vibrating body. In discussing later the effect of the latter
conditions upon the stirrup, we shall see that their form is
not necessarily identical with the form of the stirrup move-
ment.
As yet, we have studied only very simple movements of
the stirrup. Before we take up the problem of how the inner
ear analyzes more complicated move-
The physiological ments of the stirrup, we ought to remem-
condition of ber that we have not yet discussed the
tone intensity physiological condition of tone intensity.
We have spoken only of the frequency
with which shocks are received by the nerve ends. But the
frequency of the shocks determines only the attributes of
pitch and quality, not the attribute of intensity of a tone sen-
sation. Let us look to another sense organ, the olfactory
organ, for a suggestion. On what physiological condition
does the intensity of an odor depend? Although we have no
definite knowledge here any more than in the sense of hear-
ing, we have reason to believe that the intensity of an odor
depends, or may depend, on two conditions: 1. The num-
ber of nerve ends stimulated; and 2. the concentration of the
substance which stimulates each of these nerve ends. Ac-
cepting this suggestion we have to see what conditions might
determine tone intensity. Only these two can come up for
consideration, so far as I can see: 1. The number of nerve
ends which receive shocks in a definite frequency; and 2.
the suddenness, the impetuosity with which each nerve end
is shaken when the point of the partition in which it is lo-
cated is jerked down. Now, the second of these two conditions
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 33
is theoretically almost beyond our reach. We cannot, in the
present state of our knowledge, obtain a very clear idea of
differences in the suddenness with which the nerve ends
might be shaken in different cases. It will be best, therefore,
to omit this factor in the discussion of intensity altogether,
or at least for the present, rather than burden our theory
with arbitrary hypotheses the usefulness of which is no more
probable than their uselessness. At present we shall limit
our discussion to the first condition, the number of those nerve
ends which are stimulated with equal frequency.
It is clear that the number of nerve ends stimulated de-
pends in some way on the length of that part of the partition

assumption near the windows a greater number of
nerve ends were found than on an equal
length farther away from the windows; or the reverse. In
our present state of knowledge this difficulty cannot be over-
come. In order to go on with our theory, we have to make
an assumption. We shall make, of course, the simplest, the
least arbitrary assumption. We assume, provisionally, that
equal parts of the partition lengthwise contain equal num-
bers of nerve ends. If it should be found that the theory
agrees with the facts of auditory observation more closely un-
der another assumption, we would have to substitute this for
the one now made. Of course a definite answer given to the
problem by the anatomists would be more satisfactory.

We can measure the length of that part of the partition

Another difficulty stirrup. Now, the reader will recall among
in the theoretical Our provisional assumptions the one that
determination of the width of the partition at any point near
tone intensity the windows is the same as at any point
far away from them. But the anatomists
tell us that this assumption is incorrect; that the partition is
about twelve (or more) times as wide at the end
as near the windows. Nevertheless we shall provisionally
make the assumption of proportionality between any
length of the partition being jerked up and down and
the extent of the movement of the stirrup which causes
the movement of this piece of the partition, in order to under-
stand first a simpler, though imaginary, case and to proceed
gradually to a comprehension of the actual, rather compli-
cated function of the partition. Let us be aware, however,
that, having thus simplified the actual conditions, we cannot
expect to find a perfect, but only an approximate harmony
between the results of a theoretical analysis and the direct
observations of an actual sound analysis by the ear. We
may find, indeed, with respect to tone intensity, rather se-
rious disagreements between the facts and the theory. But
these disagreements will disappear as soon as the theory takes
account of what, for simplicity’s sake, we provisionally neg-
lect.
Making the two provisional assumptions just mentioned,
we can theoretically measure the intensity of a tone sensa-
tion by the total length of that part of the

sum of two tones of the vibration ratio 2:3. Let us apply

the same graphic method to this case. We have first to trans-
plant the part of the curve from the first minimum to the fol-
lowing maximum, A to B, into figure 12. Now, when the stirrup
reverses its motion, the parts of the partition near the windows
begin to be jerked up. Therefore, the curve from the maximum B
to the next minimum C has to be turned upside down and then
transplanted. The following part of the curve, from C to D, must
be transplanted in its original upright position, but placed on the
36 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
horizontal coordinate of the new figure, whatever its elevation in
the original curve may be, since every reversal of the movement of
the stirrup causes at once a movement of the parts of the parti-
tion next to the windows and only later a movement of the follow-
ing parts. So we continue transplanting each section of the
curve, alternately upright and upside down. This figure (Fig. 12)

is to be interpreted in the same way as figure 10. The distances
from 4, toz,, z, to x, and x, to 4, represent three pieces
of the partition, +, being next to the windows. During the
unit of time, which is here the period from A to G, all the
nerve ends located between +, and # receive, as is easily
seen, three shocks, counting the number of shocks received
by the number of downs (or ups, since this distinction between
the physiologically effective and ineffective direction of jerk-
ing is arbitrary, for want of better knowledge as to the man-
ner of excitation of the nerve ends). All the nerve ends be-
tween +, and +, receive, as the figure shows, counting from
left to right, two shocks in the unit of time. And all the
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR Bi
nerve ends between +, and x, receive one shock. The nerve
ends located farther towards the apex of the cochlea do not
receive any stimulation and do not, therefore, concern us. How
many tones should we expect then to hear in this case? The
answer is as easy as simple: Three different tones, since shocks
of three different frequencies are received by the several nerve
ends. And the musical relationship, the pitch, as we say, of
these tones is determined by the relative frequencies found,
which are 3 and 2 and 1. The relative intensity of these tones
is to be measured, in accordance with our remarks in the pre-
ceding paragraph, by the relative lengths 42,2, 4,%, and

A movement of the stirrup, not probably exactly like,
but similar to the one just discussed could be produced by

analysis and 3:2. It is well known that we hear in such
production of a case three different tones, 3 and 2, which
subjective we may call “objective” or primary tones,
difference tones ang 1, which we may call a “subjective” or
difference tone. Some further facts con-
cerning such subjective or difference tones will be mentioned
subsequently for those readers who are not familiar with the
conditions under which they make their appearance. The
appropriateness of calling the subjective tones in question
“difference tones” will then become apparent. The fact that
our theory of the function of the inner ear and actual obser-
vation in this case agree so nicely, is highly satisfactory to
us and ought to encourage us to proceed further in applying
the theory to other special cases of movements of the stirrup.
Let us keep in mind that our theory thus far has explained in
a special case two most fundamental observations: 1. That
our organ of hearing is capable of analyzing a compound
38 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
acoustic process; and 2. that it has the power of producing
on its own account subjective tones which no study of mere
external conditions could ever have revealed to us as a natural
consequence of the physical processes we call tones.
We saw in the preceding paragraph that all the nerve
ends between +, and +, received three shocks in the unit of
time. A measurement of the distances in
A problem for the figure, however, shows that the time
future solution intervals between these three shocks, al-
though approximately the same, are not’
exactly alike (and, moreover, there are differences in this re-
spect between the several nerve ends all of which receive three
stimulations). Now, it is probable that the particular nervous
excitation set up in each ganglion cell by these three stimula-
tions of its terminal fibre and thence carried farther to the
brain, may be just the same in either case, whether the shocks
are received in an exactly regular rhythm or in a slightly irreg-
ular succession. It will be one of the problems of the future
to decide what is the limit of irregularity which must not be
overstepped if the sensation produced is to be the same as that
of a regular series of shocks of the same frequency. At pres-
ent we have hardly any certain data upon which to found a
decision. We must leave this problem open for the present.
It would be well, however, to remember that the above graphic
representation of the movement of the partition—for simplic-
ity’s sake—is based on a number of assumptions, and that
the actual movement of the partition is doubtless somewhat
different from the one which is here under discussion, and
which contains probably only the essential features of the
actual movement, not all its minor details. It is entirely pos-
sible, under these circumstances, that the irregularity in ques-
tion is in reality much less considerable than it appears to us
now, and what seems to be an important problem, may turn
out to be no problem at all. The reason we have for believ-
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 39
ing that the actual irregularity might be less than the one
found here, is that in the graphic representation we have as-
sumed a movement made up of absolutely sudden, unpre-
pared jerks, with intervals of perfect rest between them. The
real movement is probably a more gradual change from rest
to motion and back to rest; and the result of this might
very well be an equalization of the time intervals preceding
the shocks received by the nerve ends. This, however, is not
offered as a solution of the problem, but merely as a sugges-
tion for the future investigator of this subject.
Let us try another method of graphically representing
the movement of the partition under the provisional as-
sumptions made. This method has a cer-
Second method tain disadvantage as compared with the
of graphic method used above, in being less accurate
representation of with regard to the time intervals, but, on
the movement of the other hand, the advantage of a greater
the partition simplicity for the constructor as well as
for the reader. The extension of the par-
tition from the windows towards the apex of the cochlea is here
represented, not—as before—by the vertical, but by the hori-
zontal extension of the figure, from left to right. Figure 13
shows the method as applied to the same curve (Fig. 11) which
we have just discussed. The first thing we have to do is to
draw in the given curve (Fig. 11) at equal distances so many
lines parallel to the horizontal coordinate that each of the
maxima and minima can be regarded as lying on one of these
parallels. If this is not easily done, then any arbitrary number
of parallels may be drawn. But the drawing as well as
the interpretation of the new figure requires a little more atten-
tion in this case, because we have to consider fractions. In this
figure there are thirty equidistant lines drawn parallel to the
horizontal coordinate. A greater accuracy than this would
be entirely out of place, since our representation in any case
40 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
is merely an approximate representation of the actual move-
ment of the partition. These horizontal parallels are auxiliary
lines, serving the purpose of a measuring scale. The second
thing we have to do is to draw a second, independent, system
of auxiliary lines enclosing a corresponding number of spaces.
These lines are the thirty-one vertical parallels in figure 13.
The horizontal lines here indicate for the times A, B, C, and
so forth, the positions of the different points of the parti-
tion at the upper or lower limit of movement. The vertical

auxiliaries serve the purpose of cutting off the partition a
number of equal sections corresponding to the number of parts
into which we divided the total amplitude of the given curve
representing the movement of the stirrup. To the right of
these sections which move are to be imagined the parts of the
partition nearer the apex which do not move at all in this spe-
cial case and which do not, for this reason, concern us here.
At the time A, all the moving parts of the partition are at
their upper limits, since the stirrup has at this time its extreme
outward position. From A to B, the stirrup moves through
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 41
thirty units inwards, pushing down successively all the thirty
sections of the initial part of the partition. We find, therefore,
in figure 13 at B all the thirty sections at their lower limits.
From B to C, the stirrup makes an outward movement through
nineteen spaces. The result is an upward movement of an
equal number of sections of the partition. We find, therefore,
at C the first nineteen sections of the partition at their upper
limits. All the following parts of the partition remain ex-
actly in the positions at which they were at the time B, since—
according to the assumptions under which we are working—
no force whatsover has acted upon them. That is, the sec-
tions twenty to thirty are still at the lower limits, and the
further parts of the partition in their normal positions. From
C to D the stirrup moves inward through six spaces, as seen
in figure 11. It causes therefore the first six sections of the
partition to be jerked down. In this position we find them
in figure 13 at D. All the rest of the partition remains exactly
as it was at C. That is, the next thirteen sections are still
at the upper limits and the following eleven still at the lower
limits where we found them at B. From D to E, the stirrup
makes an outward movement through six spaces, causing an
equal number of the initial sections of the partition to be jerked
up. We therefore find in the figure at E the first nineteen sec-
tions of the partition at the upper limits, the following eleven
at the lower limits. From E to F, the stirrup moves inward
again through nineteen spaces, causing nineteen sections of
the partition to be jerked down. We find, therefore, in the
figure at F all the thirty moving sections of the partition at
the lower limits. From F to G, the stirrup moves outward
through thirty spaces, as seen in figure 11. This causes thirty
sections of the partition to be jerked up. So we find in figure
13 at G the whole initial piece of the partition which moves
and therefore alone concerns us, at the upper limit. The stir-
tup has now reached the very position from which it started
42 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
at A; and the partition has the same position which it had
then. We have thus graphically represented the characteristic
positions through which the partition passes during a com-
plete period of the movement in question.
The graphic representation, of course, is only a means
to an end.. We have to read off from this representation
how many shocks are received during the
Elowitalreadvotk period by the nerve ends on each section
the tones heard of the partition. This is easily done. Let
and their us again, for want of definite knowledge,
intensities make the assumption that a jerk down of
the partition means a stimulation of the
nerve ends, and that a jerk up is irrelevant. We then sim-
ply have to go down in the figure from the top to the bottom
and count the number of times each section is jerked down.
The first section is down at B, up again at C, down for a sec-
ond time at D, up again at E, down for a third time at F,
and up again at G. The nerve ends on this section, there-
fore, receive three shocks during the period. We find the
same number of stimulations on the following five sections.
Let us now inspect the seventh section. It is down at B, up at
C and still up at D and E. It is down for a second time
at F and up again at G. That is, the nerve ends on this sec-
tion receive two shocks during the period. The same is true
for the following twelve sections. Let us now look at the
twentieth section of the partition. It is down at B, still down
at C, D, E, and F; up again at G. That is, the nerve ends here
receive only one shock during the period. The same holds
for the following ten sections. We see, then, that three
tones must be simultaneously heard, which we may call,
according to the relative frequency of stimulation, the tones 3,
2, and 1. The relative intensities of these tones may be re-
garded—under the provisional assumption of a uniform dis-
tribution of nerve ends lengthwise over the partition—as six,
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 43
thirteen, and eleven, according to the number of sections which
receive the greater or smaller number of shocks.
Let us now appiy the second graphic method to another
given movement of the stirrup, which will make clear to us
another interesting property of the ear with
Difference OF respect to the AQIS in which this or-

teristic curves of the stirrup (Fig. 14) is made up of
of a tone combi- two component curves, very similar to the
nation curves composing the last curve discussed.
That is, each of the two components is ap-
proximately a sinusoid, one of a period equal to two thirds of the
other’s period, both of approximately the same amplitude. The
resultant curve is constructed here as before by measuring
and adding together the ordinate values of the components
in the drawing. The difference between the present case and
the last case discussed is a difference of phase. If the reader
should not know what this means, it can be easily understood
by the aid of figure 14. We find there two sinusoids, one with
two and one with three maxima within the same period, which
accordingly may be called curve two and curve three. Now
imagine curve two moved slightly to the right until the
minima at the extreme right and also the minima at the ex-
treme left coincide. We then have exactly the case discussed
above; that is, the addition of the two curves would result
in a compound curve as represented by figure 11. The curves
of figure 11 and of figure 14 may be called the characteristic
curves of the ratio 2:3, because they are the two extreme forms
between which the compound curve changes as the result of
a change of phase, that is, of a lateral movement of curve two,
while curve three remains stationary. Let us convince our-
selves here that there are no more than two characteristic
compound curves. If we move curve two again slightly to the
tight, the same distance as before, that is, one twelfth of the
44 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
period, we obtain a compound curve as shown in figure 16,
which is exactly like figure 14 when read from the right to the
left. And if we change the phase again in the same manner,
that is, move curve two again one-twelfth of the period
to the right, we obtain a compound curve as shown
in figure 18, which is exactly like figure 11 only turned
upside down. We shall demonstrate in the succeeding
paragraphs that it is entirely irrelevant with respect

to our theory whether we read a curve from the left
or from the right, in its first position or turned upside
down. We shall demonstrate thus that there are in-
deed only two compound curves, no more, which are character-
istic of a combination of two sinusoids. This is an important
fact because it makes much simpler and easier our task of
comprehending the function of the inner ear.
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 45
Let us apply, then, the second graphic method to this
second characteristic curve of the combination 2 and 3. We
locate, in figure 14, the horizontal coordi-

teristic curve of We then draw a number of equidistant
combination lines, say thirty, parallel to the horizontal
2 and 3 coordinate. To avoid making the figure
obscure I have indicated of these parallels
only those which pass approximately through the maxima and
minima of the curve. We further draw a system of thirty-one
equidistant vertical parallels enclosing a series of thirty equal
spaces which represent succeeding pieces of the partition. In
this system of auxiliaries we represent the positions of the par-
tition at the time A, B, C, and so forth. At A in figure 15 we
find all the moving sections of the partition at their upper lim-
its, since the stirrup has at this time, as figure 14 shows, the
most outward position, the external air pressure and accord-
ingly the density of the air in the middle ear being lowest. At
B we find all the thirty initial sections of the partition down,
sree
Fig. 15. Compare figure 14
46 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
since from A to B the stirrup has moved through thirty units
of space inwards. At C we find the twenty-four initial sections
raised again since the stirrup has moved outward through
twenty-four spaces. At D the eleven initial sections of the par-
tition are at their lower limits since from C to D the stirrup has
moved through eleven spaces in an inward direction. From D
to E the stirrup moves outwards through three spaces. Ac-
cordingly we find at E the first three sections of the partition
raised to their upper limits. From E to F the stirrup moves
inwards through eleven spaces. Accordingly eleven sections of
the partition must be. pushed down to their lower limits. We
find the first three down at F. The following sections up to
the twelfth were already down at E. In order to represent
eleven sections of the partition as just pushed down we have
to place at F the twelfth and the following, including the nine-
teenth, sections of the partition at their lower limits. Then the
first three and the latter eight make up the total number of
eleven sections pushed down. From F to G the stirrup moves
outwards through twenty-four spaces. Accordingly all sec-
tions of the partition are raised to their upper limits except
those from the nineteenth to the twenty-fifth which were
already at their upper limits at F and therefore simply stay
there. So we find the partition at the time G in exactly the
same position in which it was at A; and we must find it again
in the same position since now another period of stirrup move-
ment begins, exactly like the period just discussed. We now
have to read off the tones heard and their intensities in the
same manner as we did this before. The result is that we must
expect to hear the three tones 3, 2, and 1 in the relative inten-
sities three, sixteen, and eleven.
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 47
Comparing our analysis of the curve in figure 14 with the
former result obtained from figure 11, we observe that in
spite of the remarkable difference of ap-
Practical pearance of these curves to the eye, the
irrelevance tones which we expect to hear are the
of phase same. This is, of course, of the greatest
importance in musical practice. Imagine
the unsurmountable difficulties if the director of an orchestra
were responsible for the phase in which the several tones pro-
duced by the members of the orchestra acted upon the audi-
tory organs of each hearer in the concert hall. But, as it is,
each hearer perceives the same tones whatever the phases of
the objective processes in the air. Now those who believe
in the existence of a system of strings like “a piano in the
ear,” have laid much stress on this fact of the practical irrel-
evance of phase, and some have even gone so far as to say that
it compels us to assume sympathetic resonance to be the me-
chanical power of the auditory organ. I need not persuade
the reader, however, that such a compulsion does not exist.
Some have gone still farther and asserted that phase differ-
ence has never and under no circumstances any influence
whatsoever upon the auditory perception. Their theory of the
mechanics of the inner ear may lead to such a consequence, to
an absolute irrelevance of phase. Experiment, however, has
not yet proved that phase difference of the sinusoidal compon-
ents of stirrup movement has never any influence of any kind
upon the perception. Our theory has shown us the practical ir-
relevance of phase differences and, at the same time, left a pos-
sibility for slight influences of this kind upon the perception,
resulting in a change of the relative intensities of the sev-
eral tones heard. The intensities of the three tones
for one phase we found to be six, thirteen, and eleven; for the
other phase three, sixteen, and eleven. That is to say, we
would hear in the second case the same tones, but their relative
48 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
intensities would not be exactly the same as those in the first
case. That is, difference of phase may be irrelevant, but it
need not be so. Let us recall, however, that our representa-
tion is only a rather remote approximation to the actual
movements of the partition, so that actually the influence of
phase upon the perception may be other than it here appears
to be. What is important is our insight into the possibility
of a slight influence of this kind.

I promised to demonstrate that the application of our the-
ory yields the same result if we read the curve of stirrup move-
ment from the right to the left, or turn it
Theoretic irrel. UPSide down. The former case is illus-
evance of the trated by figure 16, which is exactly like
sign of the co- figure 14 when read from the right to the

tions of the partition. At B the twenty-
four initial sections are down. At C the first eleven of them
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 49
are up again. At D three are down again. From D to E the
stirrup moves through eleven units of space outwards.
Fig. 17. Compare figure 16
Therefore at E the first nineteen sections are up, eight of them
being up already at D. From E to F the stirrup moves in-
Fig. 18. Compare figure 11
wards through a little more than twenty-four units of space.
Therefore at F thirty sections are down, five of them being
5° UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
down already at E. At G (equal to A) all the thirty sections
are up again. The tones to be heard, which the reader after
all the previous practice in this task can easily read off, are
3, 2, and 1 with the relative intensities three, sixteen, and eleven.
Fig. 19. Compare figure 18
As expected, this result agrees perfectly with our analysis of
the curve in figure 14.
Let us now demonstrate that turning the curve upside down
has no influence on the theoretic result. Figure 18 is exactly
like figure 11, only turned upside down. In figure 19 we see
Fig. 20. The combination 24 and 25
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 51

52 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
the successive positions of the partition corresponding to this
curve. The interpretation of the figure is so simple that the
reader will easily read off, without any aid, what tones are to
be heard; namely the tones.3, 2, and 1 with the relative intensi-
ties six, thirteen, and eleven. This is exactly the same result
as that of our analysis of the curve in figure 11.
The interval studied above is in musical terminology that
of a fifth. Let us now study an interval which is even small-
er than a semitone. The compound curve
in figure 20 is made up of twenty-four
The tone com- vibrations originating from one source and
bination 24 :
and 25 twenty-five from another. Figure 21
shows the successive positions of the parti-
tion corresponding thereto. The initial
section of the partition moves up and down twenty-five times
during the period. We may, therefore, conclude that
the nerve ends located here will transmit to the brain
a process resulting in the sensation of the tone 25.
In order to discuss this matter with more accuracy,
I have not relied only upon the draftsman’s skill in con-
structing the compound curve, but computed the ordinate
values of some of the maxima and minima. Such a compu-
tation is exceedingly tiresome work, since for each pair of val-
ues in the table it is necessary to compute twenty or more
values in order to select from them what appears as the maxi-
mum or minimum. But the accuracy of this method can be
carried to any decimal desired. We learn from the table of
these values that the relative intensity (when determined in
the same way as above) of the tone 25 would be nine (that is,
200—191).

If we regard—quite arbitrarily—the time from one stimu-
lation to the next as measurable by the abscissa differences
of the succeeding maxima, we observe that
Do we hear this difference is about one hundred and
the tone 25? forty-seven at the beginning of the period,
that it decreases very slowly and is about
one hundred and forty-five at the maximum twenty-three,
about one hundred and fifteen at the maximum twenty-five,
the same at the maximum twenty-seven, and that it increases
gradually till the end of the period. One twenty-fifth of the
whole period is one hundred and forty-four. This is the average
abscissa difference, on which the pitch of the tone heard depends,
since the abscissa difference is inversely proportional to the fre-
quency of stimulation. But the actual abscissa differences, as we
54 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
have just seen, deviate from the average, particularly in the
middle of the period. Now, some one might prefer to
conclude that we ought not to hear the tone 25 all the
time, but at first a tone somewhat lower than this, gradually
rising slightly and falling again in pitch towards the end of the
period. Whether we should draw this conclusion I will not
attempt to decide. Neither do I care to express a definite
opinion as to what we actually hear. Let the reader who
wants to know this find it out by an experiment of his own.
What I must point out, however, is the fact that the time inter-
val between two maxima is not necessarily the time between
two stimulations. In a provisional way, the interval be-
tween two maxima or between two minima or between two
points of inflection or between two points of any other name
and definition may be used thus, but let us always remember
that this is only a provisional, an artificially simplified method,
which can scarcely yield more than a rough approximation of
what actually happens.
Another section of the partition moves up and down twen-
ty-four times during the period. The length of this section,
which determines the relative intensity of
Do we hear the tone heard, is derived from the table
the tone 24? as being twenty-one (221 — 200). If we
look at the time interval between the
successive maxima, we find this to be at the beginning of
the period: one hundred and forty-seven, to decrease gradually
to one hundred and forty-five at the maximum twenty-three,
tc be two hundred and thirty from maximum twenty-three to
maximum twenty-seven (maximum twenty-five has disappeared,
as seen in figure 21), and to fall again to one hundred and
forty-five. Here again, I will not attempt to decide what we
ought to expect theoretically, because we have no right to
deduce anything definite from a theory in a direction in which
this theory is as yet professedly indefinite, in which it obvious-
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 55
ly lacks as yet all details, owing to the deficiency of the requisite
experimental data. I can only repeat here what I said in the
preceding paragraph.
Before we continue this attempt at an interpretation of
figure 21, let us consider an imaginary case the application
of which to our figure will soon make
Notindicenimi: itself clear. Imagine that during half a
nate counting of Second a nerve end receives in regular in-
stimuli allowed tervals fifty stimulations, but during the
following half-second no stimulations at
all; then again for half a second fifty stimulations in regular
intervals, and again for half a second none; and so on. What
could we hear in such a case, but a tone for half a second,
nothing for half a second, a tone again for half a second, noth-
ing again for half a second, and.so on. And what tone would
it be? Plainly the tone which we ordinarily call 100,
because the frequency with which fifty stimuli are received in
half a second is the same as that with which one hundred are
received'in one second. I need not waste any effort in trying
to prove what is self evident, namely that it would be absurd
to count in a case like this simply the number of stimuli during
any whole second and to expect, these being fifty, that we should
hear the tone 50. Amd yet this way of counting has been
actually proposed. But this proposition may well be ignored.
Now let us return to the interpretation of figure 21. The
third section of the partition, the length of which is twenty-
four (191 — 167), receives stimulations in
What beats approximately equal intervals until about the
do we hear? miximum twenty-three when there is no
stimulus at all until about the maximum
twenty-nine. With the rough approximation here possible we
may say that there is no stimulus during about one-tenth of the
period. From our discussion in the preceding paragraph it fol-
lows that during about nine-tenths of the period we should
56 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
hear a tone and during one-tenth of the period we should
hear nothing so far as the nerve ends of this section are con-
cerned. The pitch of the tone we must expect to lie between
the tones 24 and 25, acording to the probable frequency with
which the stimulations are received during that part of the period
during which they are received.
It is plain that the fourth, fifth and following sections of the
partition must move up and down very much the same as the third
section does, with this difference only,
The “mean” tone that for each further section the pause
when no stimulations at all are received
becomes longer and longer. The total sensation, then, which
is derived from the sum of the nerve ends of the third and the
following sections must be a tone of a certain intensity at a
certain time when all these sections mediate the sensation,
but becoming weaker and weaker as one after another of the
sections stops moving until for a moment it ceases alto-
gether, then appearing again and increasing up to its former
intensity. And so on again and again. That is to say, we
hear this tone “beating.” And since its pitch lies probably
somewhere between 24 and 25, between the “primary”
tones (perhaps its pitch is not quite constant but may
vary slightly during each period), I propose to call it
the “mean tone” (German: Zwischenton). The question
whether we hear such a mean tone I do not care to answer
here, this discussion being devoted to theory, not to experi-
mental research. Let the reader who desires make observa-
tions of this kind himself.
The farthest section of the partition set in motion by this
movement of the stirrup moves up and down only once dur-
ing the period. The nerve ends located

tone and convey therefore the sensation of the
tone 1, the difference tone of this case. The
intensity of the difference tone, corresponding to the length
of this section of the partition, is two.
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 57
It is not impossible, however, it is even probable, also
that a few of the sections just preceding this last convey the
sensation of this difference tone, instead of that of the mean
tone. The last section which may convey the sensation of
the mean tone moves only twice up and down during
the period, in quick succession. This double move-
ment is followed by a long pause during which no movement
occurs. Now, experimental research of recent years has prov-
ed that two shocks received by the auditory nerve ends may
be sufficient to give the sensation of the tone corresponding
to the frequency with which the two shocks are received—
but only within the middle region of the tonal series. To-
wards either end of this series four, six, and even more shocks
are found to be necessary for the sensation of the tone cor-
responding to the frequency of the shocks. What, then, will
be the consequence of choosing the tones 24 and 25 somewhat
higher? The section of the partition which makes the two
up and down movements in quick succession can no longer
convey the sensation of a short mean tone. If there is only
one period of movement, no sensation at all will then result.
But if many periods succeed, it is much more likely that the
double movement of the partition section will have the effect
of a single shock than no effect at all; and the repetition of
this shock in each succeeding period must result in the sen-
sation of the tone 1, the difference tone.
If the tones 24 and 25 are chosen still higher, it becomes
improbable that even three shocks received by the nerve ends
in quick succession between two long pauses can give the
sensation of a short mean tone. In this case it is highly prob-
able also that the second section before the last conveys the
sensation of the difference tone. And so a few more of those
more distant sections may convey the sensation of the dif-
ference tone instead of the mean tone.
58 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
If the difference tone results exclusively from the func-
tion of the nerve ends located on the last moving section of
the partition, its relative intensity is two, according to the
above table. But if the difference tone results from the func-
tion of the nerve ends of further sections, its relative inten-
sity must be higher and the maximum intensity of the mean
tone correspondingly lower. That is, the phenomenon of a
beating mean tone must be the less pronounced the
more audible the difference tone; and the difference tone of
a small interval like the one in question must be the more
audible the higher the pair of primary tones in the tonal series.
Summarizing now our interpretations of figure 21, we
must say that so far as the meager data reach from which we
can draw theoretical conclusions, the fol-
The combination /owing seems likely to be the total -im-

summary the other ear plugged): 1. A tone 25
of the constant, but comparatively weak
intensity nine; 2. a tone 24 of the constant, but compar-
atively weak intensity twenty-one; 3. a mean tone (perhaps
slightly varying in pitch during each period) of an intensity
which varies once during each period from zero to a definite
maximum intensity and back to zero. This maximum inten-
sity may be (under the most favorable conditions) as high
as (relatively) three hundred and sixty-eight, but must be
much less if the primary tones are above the middle region
of the tonal series. Its being less means that the “beats” are
less pronounced; 4. a difference tone the relative inten-
sity of which may be (under the most unfavorable condi-
tions) as low as two. Its intensity, however, may be greatly
increased, at the expense of the maximum intensity of the
beating mean tone, in case the pitch of the primary tones is
raised.
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 59
Before we take up the theoretical discussion of further
tone combinations, the reader ought to obtain some informa-
tion concerning the difference tones which
awsvot we hear in addition to the “objective”
difference tones in the several combinations. To
tones give such information of this kind as is
indispensable, I shall state here the laws
of these phenomena in as clear and comprehensible a manner
as possible. These laws given below do not pretend to tell
all the difference tones which we might possibly hear in every
possible combination of objective tones. Neither do they tell
the relative intensities of the difference tones, although this
is a matter of no small importance. Laws of difference tones
of this scientific perfection are as yet not known and may
never be known. The laws below merely tell those differ-
ence tones which one is most likely to hear in those combi-
nations which correspond to relatively simple ratios of the
vibration rates and are therefore (musically and otherwise)
particularly interesting. These laws are the following four:
In case the ratio of the vibration rates does not differ
much from 1:1, let us say 11:12, or 9911: 9989, a single dif-
ference tone is audible, whose pitch corre

difference tones vibration rate of which is equal to the
difference of the vibration rates of our
case. In addition to the difference tone, however, beats are
usually clearly audible, and a mean tone may be audible too
which lies between the two primary tones. If the interval is
quite small, this mean tone is usually more pronounced than
either of the primary tones, particularly when we hear with
one ear only, having the other ear plugged. The beats just
mentioned seem to be the fluctuations of the intensity of the
mean tone rather than of the primary tones, if we use one
ear only.

A second class of ratios which is of particular interest,
is that of the ratios whose numbers differ by one. In each
of these cases the difference tone 1! is audi-

numbers of the ratio are rather small,
as in the case of 5:4, all the tones from the
highest, that is, 5, down to 1 are without any great difficulty
noticeable. As we study ratios of increasing numbers, the
tones following directly upon 1 (in a rising direction) seem
to have a tendency to drop out. And if we go on in the same

to the difference between the just mentioned differences (4 —/)
and (2/—/), that is (2h—31). It is to be noticed, however, that
a difference tone is rarely audible which corresponds to
a difference larger than the subtrahend; for example, the
primary tones 9 and 5 produce the difference tones 4 and 1,
but not 3 = 41, or at least not an easily noticeable tone 3, three
being larger than one. The following table contains a few ex-

audible, would lie between the primary

such laws difference tones will use the above “laws”
as directions for observation and obtain
a first hand knowledge of the phenomena of difference tones,

are to follow, and able to decide for himself in what di-
rections the mechanical theory is yet most undeveloped and
most wanting in details.

This computation is a very slow process, but has no limit of
accuracy. Figure 23 shows the positions of the partition be-
longing to the maxima and minima of figure 22. We see that
at A the initial forty sections of the partition are in their
64 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
upper positions. At B, the first thirty-one of them are at
their lower limits. At C, the stirrup has caused eleven
sections to assume their upper limits. From C to D,
the stirrup moves inwards through fourteen units of space,
pushing down the eleven sections which were up at C, leaving
the following twenty unmoved since they are down already,
and pushing down three more, so that now the first thirty-four
Fig. 22. The combination 4 and 9
sections of the partition are down, six further sections are up,
and all the following ones are in their normal positions. From
D to E the stirrup makes an outward movement through
thirty-three units of space, moving up the first thirty-three
sections of the partition. From E to F, the stirrup moves
inwards through twenty-three units of space; and so on. At
S, we find the partition in the same position as at A, our
starting point; then, a new period begins.
Let us now try to interpret the figure. We can easily
see that the first eight sections move down and up again nine
times during the period. This would mean
Do we hear 9? that the nerve ends located on this section
convey to our mind the sensation of the
tone 9 of the relative intensity eight. The ninth section of
the partition moves down and up only eight times during the
period; but after our discussion about the omission of stimuli
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 65
it is clear that we should not be justified in concluding that
we must hear the tone 8. This tone would be audible only
if the frequency with which the stimuli occur on the ninth
section was less than the frequency on the first eight sections.
However, there is no reason why we should regard the ire-

quency as different. It seems most probable, then, that
the nerve ends of the ninth section convey to us the sensation
of the tone 9, but with a short pause (or possibly, because of
the after-sensation, a diminution of intensity only) at the
moment about G, when no stimulation takes place. Our total
impression of the tone 9 is, of course, the sum of the sensa-
tions conveyed by all the nine initial sections. This means
that the tone intensity perceived would, on the whole, be
nine; but that for one moment in each period this intensity of
the tone might suddenly be slightly decreased. It does not
66 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
seem improbable—so far as our theoretical data permit us to
draw a conclusion—that such a sudden, but weak decrease
in intensity might become noticeable as a kind of just per-
ceptible “beat.” I leave it to the reader to decide experi-
mentally whether the tone 9 in this combination appears
slightly “rough” or perfectly ‘“smooth.”
The tenth and eleventh sections of the partition move
down and up six times during the period. But we must
remember here from our previous discus-
Do we hear @? sion that—in order to conclude as to the
tones to be heard—no indiscriminate count-
ing is permissible. Mere counting of stimuli would indicate
the tone heard only in case it seems probable that these stimuli
occur in equal or approximately equal intervals. Now, a
survey of figure 23 does not make it appear probable that the
stimuli on the two sections in question occur in even approx-
imately equal intervals. The partition moves down at F
and remains in the lower position until it moves up at I. It
moves down at J and immediately, at K, up again. Down
at L and up at M. In this upper position it remains until
P, when it moves down. At Q it is up again, to stay in the
upper position until B, when it moves down. At C it is up
again. At D it moves down, at E up, and at F down again.
Are we justified in concluding that the nerve ends located on
these two sections of the partition must convey to our mind
the sensation of the tone 6 of the intensity two; or any other
definite sensation? I do not know how to answer this ques-
tion. If we knew the time intervals between the successive
stimuli exactly, we might attempt to decide whether one or
the other sensation would be more or less probable in this
case. But we know that figure 23 is only an approximate,
not an exact representation of the actual movement of the
partition. It is a certain comfort in this dilemma that the prac-
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 67
tical importance of a decision in this case is rather small, for
the reason that, whatever sensation these two sections might
produce, it would be a sensation of the relative intensity two
only, a rather weak sensation compared with the tones which
appear theoretically certain.
The twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth sections of the
partition move down at B, a second time at F, a third time
at J, and a fourth time at P. These sec-
Do we hear 4? tions, therefore, move down and up four
times during the period in approximately
equal intervals. The five following sections of the partition
move down at B, a second time at F, a third time at L, and
a fourth time at P. These sections, therefore, move down
and up four times during the period in approximately equal
intervals. The four sections from the twentieth to the twenty-
third move down at B, a second time at F, a third time at L,
and a fourth time at P. These sections, therefore, move
down and up four times during the period in approximately
equal intervals. The following four sections move down at B,
a second time at H, a third time at L, and a fourth time at
P; that is, four times during the period in approximately equal
intervals. The four sections from the twenty-eighth to the
thirty-first move down at B, a second time at H, a third time
at L, and a fourth time at P; again, four times during the
period in approximately equal intervals. The thirty-second
and thirty-third sections move down at D, a second time at
H, a third time at L, and a fourth time at P. These sections,
therefore, move down and up four times during the period in
approximately equal intervals. It follows that according to
our theory we must expect to hear the tone 4 of a relative in-
tensity twenty-two, since it is produced by all the sections
from the twelfth to the thirty-third.
68 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
The thirty-fourth section of the partition moves down at
D, and up again at O'; down at P, and up again at S. That
is, the nerve ends of this section receive

relative intensity one. The three follow-
ing sections of the partition move down at H and up again
at O. The nerve ends on these sections receive, therefore,
one stimulus during the period. The next two sections move
down at H and up again at S. The nerve ends here receive
one stimulus during the period. The fortieth section moves
down at L and up again at S. The nerve ends here receive
one stimulus during the period. We must hear, then, the
tone 1 of the relative intensity six. The tones 2 (weak) and 1
(strong) are the only difference tones in this case which we
can derive from our theory with some degree of certainty.
Summarizing now the results derived from our represen-
tation of the movements of the partition in the case of the
ratio 4:9, we find that we must expect to
The relative hear the tones 9, 4, 2 and 1, with the rel-
intensities ative intensities nine, twenty-two, one and
compared six; leaving out of discussion the doubt-
ful sensation of the intensity two which
may be conveyed to our mind by the tenth and eleventh sec-
tions. Now, it is quite natural to ask the question whether
we hear these tones with just these relative intensities. Un-
fortunately, no exact answer to this question is possible,
because this matter, owing to technical difficulties and other
circumstances, has never been experimentally subjected to
accurate measurement. It is known, however—what also ap-
pears in the above statement of our results—that in a com-
bination of two tones the higher one loses in intensity, com-
pared with the lower one. Yet it is doubtful if this loss in
intensity is so great as the number nine indicates, compared
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 69
with twenty-two. The present writer at least is inclined to
doubt this. He believes that the theory, representing only an
approximation to what actually happens in the organ of hear-
ing, exaggerates the degree of this loss of intensity on the
part of the higher tone. He is also inclined to believe that
the theory exaggerates the relative intensity of the difference
tone 1, which was found to be six. In reality, this tone seems
to be somewhat weaker than is indicated by this number.
Let us remember, now, the provisional assumptions
which we made in order to render the graphic representation
of the movement of the partition as sim-
The third and ple as possible. We may raise this ques-
fourth provisional tion: Is not, perhaps, the above disagree-
assumptions ment between theory and experimental ob-
recalled servation a result of one or more of these
provisional assumptions? I shall demon-
strate that this is indeed the case. Or, more exactly, I shall
demonstrate that, if we omit one of these assumptions and
take into account in its stead the actual anatomical conditions
so far as these are known, we change the results of the theory
in such a direction as to diminish the exaggerated loss of
intensity of the higher primary tone and also the exaggerated
intensity of the difference tone.
The partition was provisionally assumed to be of equal
width all along the tube. As a matter of fact, its width near
the windows is only one-twelfth or one-
The partition is tenth (measurements differ somewhat) of
narrower near what it is at the far end of the tube. And
the windows further, it is to be noted that the width
of the partition does not increase uniformly
along the tube, like the area between the dotted lines of figure
24, but that it increases first rather rapidly, later more slowly,
like the area between the curved lines. The figure, however,
does not represent the true relation between the width and
79° UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
the length of the partition. The partition as a whole is much
Narrower in comparison to its length than appears in the fig-
ure. Let us try, then, to get a clear conception of the func-
tional significance of these facts. It is of no particular im-
portance, in this connection, whether the measurements upon
Fig. 24. Shape of the partition
which the following considerations are based are more or less
incorrect, as they probably are; for our intention is merely to
get an idea of the general direction in which the actual shape
of the partition changes the results of a theory having pro-
visionally assumed that the partition is everywhere of equal
width.
When the partition yields in either direction, up or down,
its former place is taken by the fluid of the tube. Let us call
the quantity of fluid which has taken po-
A unit of stirrup sitions formerly occupied by the partition
movement equals “the displaced fluid.” Now, it is plain that
a unit of dis- the quantity of displaced fluid must al-
placed fluid ways be approximately proportional to the
distance through which the stirrup has
moved since its last reversal of movement. If the partition
were equally wide everywhere, then any section of equal
length, far from or near the windows, would make room, in
moving from one limit to the other, to the same quantity of
displaced fluid as any other section. And then, plainly, the
length of that part of the partition which is caused to move
from one limit to the other would always be proportional to
that part of the stirrup movement which caused it to move.
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 71
This is the effect of our provisional assumption. But if the
partition tapers as it does, a unit of displaced fluid (corre-
sponding to a unit of stirrup movement) is made room for by
sections of the partition of very unequal length according as
the displaced fluid unit is located nearer or farther from the
windows. Where the partition is narrow, a longer section
would have to move in order to make room for a unit of dis-
placed fluid. Where the partition is wider, a shorter section
would make room for the same quantity of fluid.
Since, then, tone intensity depends on the length of the
partition section which is jerked up and down, and since this
length is not proportional to the given
The computation value of the stirrup movement, it is use-
of a table ful to have a table showing the partition
lengths corresponding to various stirrup
movements in order to get a clear idea of the influence of the
tapering of the partition upon the relative tone intensities.

restrict it to a short distance from the windows, so that we

More useful, however, is a table which progresses in a

lengths of the initial sections which make room for these quan-
tities of fluid; for our representation of the movement of the
partition tells us the quantities of displaced fluid, and the cor-
responding section lengths are to be found in order to obtain
a more correct idea of the relative tone intensities. In order
to compute such a table it is advantageous to use a larger
fluid unit than the above. Let us determine the total quan-

the table called above “the relative intensities of the

portional to the extent of a stirrup movement. What we want

to know now, is the length of the several sections of the par-
tition of which—in the last case of tone combination, 4 and
9—the first or initial one moves up and down nine times and
produces the tone 9, the second produces no definite tone with
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 9/7)
certainty, the third produces the tone 4, the fourth the tone
2, and the fifth the tone 1.
The fluid quantity for the tone 9 is measured, as we found
above, by the relative number nine. Now, let us, for exam-
ple, assume that this means an equal number of fluid
units in our table. We then read off the corresponding par-
tition length as being 24.11 units. The fluid quantity for the
uncertain tone was measured as two units. But now, we can-
not simply read off from the table the number of partition
units corresponding to two; for the partition section making

room for these two fluid units is not an initial section. We
must read off, therefore, the value corresponding to eleven
fluid units (26.42) and subtract from this the value correspond-
ing to nine fluid units (24.11). We thus see that the length
of the partition section about the tone of which we could not
come to a decision is 2.31 units. The fluid quantity for the
tone 4 was measured as twenty-two. But here again we can-
not simply read off the length of the partition section pro-
ducing this tone, because this section is not an initial section.
We must read off the values for 9--2+-22—33 and for 9+2=11
and subtract the latter from the former. These values are
42.28 and 26.42. The length of that section of the partition
48 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
which moves up and down four times is therefore 15.86 units.
The intensity of the tone 2 is one fluid unit. The length of
the partition section corresponding to this fluid unit is 42.80—
42.28—.52. The fluid quantity for the tone 1 is six fluid units.
We have to read off from the table the values corresponding
to 9+24+22+1+6=—40 and to 9+2+22+1—34 fluid units. These
values are 45.72 and 42.80. The length of that section of the
partition which produces the tone 1 is therefore 2.92 units of
the partition.
The relative intensities of the four tones 9, 4, 2, and 1,
would then be, not as nine to twenty-two to one to six, but as
24.1 to 15.9 to .5 to 2.9; and the tone about
Thevrelative which we could not reach a definite con-
intensities of the clusion would have the relative intensity
tones 9, 4, 2, 2.3 instead of two. For the sake of better
and 1 . comparison let us express the relative in-
tensities in percentages. The table shows
in one column the tone intensities in case we regard the par-
tition as of uniform width and in another column the intensi-
ties in case we regard the partition as tapering and possess-
ing those properties upon which the present computation is
based.
We must not, of course, regard the result found in the
second column of intensities as any more final than that in
the first column. We have assumed that
This result the initial section of the partition tapers
not final uniformly so that, the initial width being
w, its width is 6w at a distance of 50w. But
we do not know that it tapers just this way. We have further
assumed that the areas described by cross-sections of the par-
tition in moving from one limit of position to the other, are
geometrically similar. But we do not know whether they are
or not. We have further assumed that the total movement of
the partition in this case extends just to the distance of 45.72w.
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 79
But this is an arbitrary assumption, and the results of the ta-
ble, as is shown farther below, would look different if the total
movement did not extend just so far, but farther or less far.
We must not, then, regard this result as final, but simply ob-
serve if it tends to change the relative intensities in such a
direction as might correct the intensities which seemed some-
what objectionable. Now, we objected, first, to the fact that
the higher of the primary tones had such a slight intensity com-
pared with the lower one, 22.5 per cent compared with 55.0
per cent. Now we see that taking into account the tapering
of the partition raises the intensity of the tone 9 to 52.7 per
cent and lowers that of the tone 4 to 34.8 per cent. As stated
before, these particular figures must not be regarded as a final
result. It is irrelevant that now the lower tone is weaker than
the higher. What is important is the fact that the influence
in question is in the direction in which it must be in order to
correct the objectionable features of the former computation.
A further result of this influence is the reduction of the former
intensity of the difference tone 1, which we regarded as
rather high, from 15.0 per cent to 6.4 per cent—again a change
in the desired direction.
We can obtain here a more special insight in addition
to the general insight into the fact that tapering of the par-
tition tends to increase the intensities of the
Tihs Pee tones piocuced by tne initial sections, to
tensities not inde- decrease the intensities of the tones pro-
pendent of the duced by more distant sections of the par-
absolute intensity tition. More especially, we shall observe
of the compound that the amount of this increasing or de-
sound creasing influence varies according as the
total length of the partition section set in
motion varies, that is, as the total intensity of the compound
sound heard varies. Imagine, for example, three tones, which
we call A, B, and C, being produced by successive sections of
80 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
the partition. Imagine further that the quantity of displaced
fluid for the tone A’ is 20 per cent of the total amount of fluid
displaced by the compound sound wave, that the quantity
for B is 50 per cent, and the quantity for C 30 per cent. This
is a percentage which might easily be found in an actual case.
The pitch of the tones A, B, and C is irrelevant. The table
below contains all the values which are of interest to us, for
two cases. In the first case the actual fluid quantities are
two, five, and three, by assumption; in the second case they
are ten, twenty-five, and fifteen. That is, the stirrup move-
ment in the second case is of the same form, but exactly five
times as large as in the first.

The table shows that the tone intensities do not increase
proportionally to the increase in the amplitude of stirrup move-
ment. The amplitude in the second case is five times that of
the first case; but the total intensity (3) of the audible sound
in the second case is less than twice that of the first case (50.0
compared with 25.3). The table shows further that the inten-
sity of the tone A is in the first case 44.7 per cent, in the second
case 50.6 per cent. That is the increase in the intensity of the
whole sound is favorable to the relative intensity of the tone
produced by the initial section of the partition. The percentage
intensity of this tone, A, is increased at the cost of the tones
B and C, the percentages of both of which are diminished.
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 81
Thus far we have studied the effect upon the relative tone
intensities of initial and more distant sections which would
result from a uniform increase in width of
Increase in width the partition as compared with a uniform
of partition width. But we know that the partition
not uniform does not increase uniformly, but rapid-
ly at first, near the windows, and more
slowly the farther we go from the windows (Fig. 24). To
understand the theoretical result of this manner of increase,
it is not necessary to compute a new table. It is plain that,
if a more distant section increases less than we assumed in
computing the preceding table, showing the corresponding
values of m and x, this would cause a longer piece of this dis-
tant part of the partition to move in order to make room for
a certain quantity of displaced fluid. That is, the decrease in
the broadening of the partition would counteract the effect
last discussed. We saw in the preceding paragraph that an
increase in the intensity of the whole sound does not leave
the relative intensities of the partial tones unaltered, but favors
the intensities of the tones on the initial sections, reduces
those on the distant sections. But now, if we increase the in-
tensity of the whole sound, we throw the tones of the more
distant sections on still more distant sections, that is, on sec-
tions where the broadening of the partition is much less than
that assumed in the table. Consequently, the tones of distant
sections cannot lose in percentage as much as a derivation
from the table would indicate, but might even gain somewhat
in percentage of intensity through an increase of the total in-
tensity of the sound.
82 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
The preceding paragraphs must impress us with the per-
plexity of our situation. We want to comprehend the facts
of audition as depending on the structure
THe necd Of a and function of the sense organ. But every
more accurate endeavor to enter into the details of the
and detailed function of the organ is thwarted by the
anatomical poverty and inaccuracy of our anatomical
knowledge knowledge. We cannot obtain a definite
idea of the intensities of the various physi-
ological processes resulting from a compound aerial wave un-
less we know exactly the manner of increase in width of the
partition. It is not sufficient to know that it increases first
tapidly, then slowly. We need a very exact measurement
of the width of succeeding cross-sections of the partition and
of the distance of each of them from the beginning of the par-
tition near the windows.
On the other hand, we need also a much more detailed
and accurate comparison of the relative intensities of the
components of stronger and weaker com-

culties and the costliness of the apparatus
required for such investigations, an accurate knowledge of
these psychological facts will be obtained. We _ need this
knowledge because some of the constants contained in the
mechanical theory may never become directly measurable, for
example, the elastic properties of the partition, and, therefore,
will have to be inferred from their psychological conse-
quences.

Two consequences of the particular shape of the partition

minute movement of the stirrup. Now,
the initial part of the partition being ex-
ceedingly narrow, even the minutest quantity of fluid dis-
placed by the stirrup must spread considerably lengthwise
over the partition and thus stimulate quite a number of nerve
ends. But it would not be advantageous to have the partition
equally narrow all along. In that case comparatively weak
objective sounds would cause the whole partition to move up
and down and the displaced fluid for which no room can be
made by the partition, to flow back and forth through the
“safety valve.” Strong objective sounds would then make
the same impression upon the animal as sounds of medium
physical intensity. This disadvantage is overcome by the
partition’s tapering, by its being narrow at the beginning,
but wide farther on, so that even sounds of considerable
strength do not involve the whole partition. But again, there
would be a disadvantage if the partition’s width increased uni-
formly : for then the relative intensities of simultaneous tones
—as we have seen—would not be even approximately inde-
pendent of the absolute intensity of the total sound. This
disadvantage might be avoided by the width increasing first
rapidly, then more and more slowly. If it is thus avoided,
either partially or totally, we do not exactly know because of lack
of exact anatomical data.

The second of the consequences to be emphasized is
probably of little biological significance, but possibly of some
importance to the student observing differ-

or less favorable It is quite possible that, as a result of the
to the observation tapering not being uniform but decreasing
of difference as the windows are left behind, the rela-
tones tive intensity of difference tones, which are
obviously produced by the more distant
sections of the partition, is somewhat greater when the abso-
lute intensity of the whole sound is rather great. If this is
so, it would be advisable to use for the observation of dif-
ference tones fairly strong primary tones rather than weak
ones. Whether this conclusion is borne out by experience, I
must leave to the reader to decide.
The above discussion of tone intensities naturally leads us
to take up the theoretical aspects of the fact frequently ob-
served by experimenters that in a combina-
The dis- tion of a lower and a higher tone the latter
appearance of is sometimes entirely inaudible, provided,
a higher tone of course, that it is physically much weaker
than the former. The reverse, however,
that is, the disappearance of a physically weak low tone when
sounded together with a strong higher tone, has hardly been
observed. The phenomenon in question can, perhaps, be most
easily observed with such ratios at 1:2, 2:3, or 1:3. Let us
study, then, one of these ratios, say 1:2, from the theoretical
point of view.

Let us combine two sinusoids according to the following
equation :
f(#) = 2sina-+sin2dsv.
The combination hat is, the amplitude of the sinusoid of
1 and 2, when 2 ‘the shorter period is one-half of the am-
is comparatively plitude of the sinusoid of the longer pe-
weak riod. Figure 26 shows the curve represent-
ing the stirrup movement, and the accom-
panying table shows the exact numerical values of those points
of the curve which, as we shall see, are of particular import-
ance to us, that is, the maxima and minima, and the points
of inflection. These values are easily found in this particular
case. To find the maxima and minima, we have to set the
first derivative of the above function equal to zero and solve
the equation for +; for the maxima and minima are those
points where the tangential angle or differential coefficient
is zero.
f' (4) = 2cosx + 2cos2y = 0.
To find the points of inflection, we have to set the second
derivative equal to zero and solve the equation for x; for the
points of inflection are those points of the curve where the
tangential angle neither increases nor decreases.
f’ (#) = — 2sinex — 4sin2« = 0.
The purely arithmetical work I do not care to perform
here. The table shows its results. It is plain that, if we rep-
resent the successive positions of the partition according to
the same rules as formerly employed, we find that only one
tone can become audible, the tone 1. The tone 2 has disap-
peared because its addition does not increase the number of
the maxima and minima of the compound curve (Fig. 26), but
merely influences its shape. However interesting this in-
sight may be into the fact that a weak higher tone added
to a strong lower tone may be entirely inaudible, the present
theoretic result is not quite satisfactory. It is somewhat un-
86 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
satisfactory because it seems improbable that the higher octave
should become inaudible as soon as its amplitude is decreased
to one-half of the amplitude of the lower tone. It seems, judg-
ing from experimental experience, that the higher octave must
be weakened by far more, in order to become entirely inaudi-

ble. Now, to correct the above theoretic result, we cannot
make use of the previous considerations concerning the in-
fluence of the tapering of the partition. As long as there is
an initial section, however short, jerked down and up twice
during the period, the result of tapering may be the length-
ening of this section and a corresponding increase of the rel-
ative intensity of the higher tone. But when there is no
initial section at all which moves twice, no tapering of the par-
tition can create one. Let us, therefore, recall the other pro-
visional assumptions.
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 87
The second of our provisional assumptions is that the
partition is perfectly inelastic, that is, not offering any re-
sistance to a displacement until either of
Hel secontd the limits is reached, and then offering ab-
provisional solute resistance. Now, does our anatom-
assumption ical knowledge warrant such an assump-
recalled tion? The most striking fact derived from
an anatomical study of the organ is the
absence of any solid body which might serve to interfere sud-
denly, abruptly, with a yielding movement of the partition in
either direction. Even the analogy with the leather seat
of a chair is hardly admissible if we mean thereby a flabby,
wrinkled piece of leather. The analogy probably holds good
only if we imagine the leather in such a condition as we find
it in a new, unused chair, occupying a perfect plane, being
practically free, however, from any stresses as long as no weight
is resting upon it, yielding to a certain extent if a certain weight
is placed upon it, but not yielding in proportion to the weight
if the weight is increased. It is probably in a similar manner
that the partition resists pressure. What determines the
limit of yielding must be the partition’s own elasticity. But
let us always remember that there is no elastic force—no
stress—in the partition while in its normal position, that its
elastic force is the result of a displacement in either direction,
that this elastic force increases much more rapidly than the
displacement, and that therefore a constant increase of press-
ure on any point of the partition does not cause a constant
movement of this point, but a movement first rapid, then
quickly decreasing in velocity. Figure 27 is a graphic repre-
sentation of such a function under the arbitrary assumption—
which, perhaps, may be regarded as a rough approximation
to the actual conditions—that the elastic force of the partition
increases proportionally to the tangent of its displacement. The
abscisse represent the increasing pressure, the ordinates
88 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
the corresponding displacements of the partition. We notice,
then, that there is a practical limit of yielding, that an increase
of pressure beyond a certain point is practically ineffective, does
not cause any further displacement to speak of.
There can be no doubt that the assumption of a relation
existing between the displacement of the partition and the
pressure, similar to the relation between an angle and its
tangent—however rough the approximation to the facts—is

Fig. 27. The probable relation between pressure and displacement of the partition
much better adapted to the anatomical facts than the second
provisional assumption. Of course, the second provisional as-
sumption simplifies greatly the graphic representation of the
successive positions of the partition, but at the cost of ail
accuracy. Wherever the approximation thus possible is suffi-
cient for our purposes, we shall, of course, continue to work
under that simpler assumption. But let us now apply the
latter assumption to our problem of representing the succes-
sive positions of the partition which correspond to the stirrup
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 89
movement of the curve in figure 26. Let us disregard, how-
ever, the varying width of the partition, in order to avoid too
much complication. We shall again assume the partition to be
of uniform width, without, however, forgetting the fact that
this is an arbitrary simplification of the conditions.
Imagine that the whole partition is in its normal posi-
tion, free of any stress, and that the stirrup begins an outward
movement of the form of the curve from E
The significance to G in figure 26. We see from the curve
of a point of that the stirrup moves at first very slowly,
inflection then gradually more and more quickly un-
til at F, the point of inflection, it moves
with the greatest velocity. Now, a simple consideration will
make it plain to us that the pressure acting upon the initial part
of the partition must be dependent on, probably be propor-
tional to the velocity of the stirrup. If the velocity of the stir-
rup movement were extremely small, no point of the partition
would move more readily than any other, and consequently
none of them would move to a considerable extent; but the
fluid would every time and all the time flow through the
opening at the end of the tube which we called the safety
valve, because there would then be practically no friction at
any point within the tube, and an infinitesimal elastic force
of displacement could keep the partition in place. On the other
hand, if the velocity of the stirrup movement is not very
small, the points of the partition near the windows receive
the greatest push from the fluid, farther points only a slighter
push, very quickly diminishing with increasing distance, and
at some distance away the push could be regarded as practi-
cally infinitesimal; all this as the result of the friction of the
fluid in the narrow tube, the total influence of which is the greater
the longer the column of fluid in question, measuring this column
from the windows.

As the stirrup moves away from H, the initial part of the
partition yields upwards, as shown in figure 28 at I. By I,
II, and so forth, are meant successive moments between E
and G in figure 26. The increasing velocity of the stirrup re-
sults at II in an increased pressure at all the points of the
partition which had yielded at I. Therefore, at II in figure 28
these points are somewhat farther displaced than they were at
I, but not proportional to the increase of the velocity of the
stirrup but much less, according to figure 27. At the same
Fig, 28. Seven successive positions of the partition, three preceding
and three following an inflection point (F)
time we notice that the part of the partition which has now
yielded extends much farther to the right at II than at I;
for the stirrup has displaced much more fluid at II than at the
earlier moment I, and the slight increase in the displacement
of those parts of the partition which were already displaced
at I, can not nearly make room for all this fluid. Therefore the
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR gI
spreading of the displacement lengthwise over the partition.
At III the velocity of the stirrup is still greater than at II.
Therefore we notice again a slight increase in the displace-
ment of the initial part of the partition. But as the stirrup
approaches F, this increase of displacement of the initial parts
must become less; for the velocity of the stirrup is now nearly
constant, its increase very slight, and the increase of displace-
ment is in any case much less than proportional to the increase
of velocity, according to figure 27. As soon as the stirrup passes
F, its velocity begins to decrease. Immediately the press-
ure on the whole piece of the partition which has yielded de-
creases; and this whole piece, therefore begins to move
slowly back by its elasticity in the direction of its normal
position. It is clear, however, from figure 27 that even a
considerable decrease of the velocity of the stirrup causes only
a slight decrease of the displacement until the stirrup ap-
proaches G, when its velocity approaches zero and the part
of the partition in question can move more rapidly by its
elasticity since it has no longer to overcome much pressure
caused by the stirrup. It does not follow, however, that any
point of the partition has returned to its normal position by
the time the stirrup reaches G. The initial sections have
merely moved in the direction of their normal position. And
meanwhile, new points of the partition to the right must
have yielded upwards to make room for the fluid being dis-
placed all the time by the stirrup in moving towards G.
Three positions of the partition between F and G are shown
in figure 28 at IV, V, and VI.
g2 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
One of the consequences of the decrease of pressure on the
partition at the point of inflection between a maximum and a
preceding or following minimum of the
Thearetiocons curve consists in the fact that the partition
sequences of does not move up and down so suddenly
the inflection as it appeared from our previous graphic
of the curve representations. We had to point out this
fact before in mentioning the irregular-
ity with which stimuli often seem to be received by the nerve
ends according to our simplified graphic representation. The
exact time when a stimulus—a shock, as we called it—is re-
ceived we now find to be dependent also on the location of each
inflection point, not merely on the temporal location of the
maxima and minima. Unfortunately, however, we can not
determine the time of each shock with certainty even now,
taking into account the inflection point. This important ques-
tion of theoretical detail must be left open for future investi-
gation.
Another consequence of the decrease of pressure on
the partition marked by any point of inflection consists in the
fact that a double movement—up and down—of the partition
may result, not only from an alternation of maxima and mini-
ma of a curve, but also from an alternation of inflection points
marking an increasing and decreasing velocity of the stirrup.
This means that the number of shocks received by the nerve
ends during one period of the curve may exceed the total num-
ber of maxima (or minima) in case any part of the curve
from a maximum to a minimum or from a minimum to a max-
imum contains more than a single point of inflection. An example
will be given at once.
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 93
Let us return to the theoretical analysis of the whole
curve in figure 26. From A to C the stirrup moves inwards,
pushing down a certain length of the parti-
mie sueceadive tion. The initial part of this length, how-
positions of the ever, begins a slow upward movement as
partition corres- soon as the velocity of the stirrup begins
ponding to to decrease, at B. The same part moves
figure 26 up more quickly when, at C, the stirrup
reverses its movement and begins to pull
it upward. We therefore see at B in figure 29 the initial two
sections in an extreme downward position. At C, we see them
Fig. 29. The combination 1 and 2. Compare figure 26
only in a medium downward position, and at the same time
we find the following two sections of the partition in a similar
downward position since the stirrup has continued, from B to
C, to move inwards. It is plain that to take into account, in
our graphic representation, only two kinds of displacements in
either direction, an extreme and a medium one, is again an ar-
tificial simplification, introduced merely to suit our momentary
needs, in spite of the fact that thus we lose sight of some of the
details of the movement. Actually, the movement probably
occurs rather in the form of figure 28. But the simplification
used in figure 29 not only renders the drawing of the figure
94 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
easier, but also contributes towards a readier comprehension
of the significance of the graphic representation, towards a
quicker reading off of the tones to be heard.
At D we see the first section in an extreme upward position
since the stirrup has moved outwards and has reached a max-
imum velocity. At E, the first section has returned to a me-
dium displacement since the velocity of the stirrup has reached
a minimum. At the same time the second section of the par-
tition has moved upwards as a result of the continued outward
movement of the stirrup. At F we find the initial three sec-
tions of the partition in an extreme upward position; for the
stirrup has continued to move outwards and has also reached
a maximum of velocity. At G all four initial sections of the
partition are in an upward position since the stirrup has con-
tinued to move outwards. But they are only in a medium
displacement since the velocity of the stirrup has again reach-
ed a minimum.
Looking now over the four columns in figure 29, we notice
that the first shows an extreme upward position of this section
of the partition at F, a medium upward
De we hear position at G=A, an extreme downward
both tones position at B, a medium downward posi-
2 and 1? tion at C, an extreme upward position at
D, a medium upward position at E, an ex-
treme upward position again at F. This section of the parti-
tion, therefore, has moved up and down twice during the pe-
riod, the second upward movement occurring between E and
F. It is quite probable, then, that the nerve ends located on
this section receive two shocks during the period. The second
section of the partition has an extreme upward position at F,
a medium upward position at G=A, an extreme downward
position at B, a medium downward position at C and D,
and a medium upward position at E. It follows that
this section moves up and down only once during the pe-
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 95
riod, and that the nerve ends located there recefve only one
shock during the period. The third section has an extreme
upward position at F, a medium upward position at G=A and
also at B, a medium downward position at C, D, and E, The
nerve ends of this section receive therefore one shock during
the period. The fourth section has a medium upward position
at G=A and at B, a medium downward position at C, D, E, and
F. The nerve ends of this section receive therefore one shock
during the period. It is plain, then, that from our theory we
must expect to hear the tone 2 as well as the tone 1, the former
conveyed by the first, the latter by the three following sec-
tions of the partition.
To determine the relative intensities of the tones heard,
we have to compare the length of the initial section of the par-
tition with the total length of the three
Sixth provision- following sections when added together.
al assumption For simplicity’s sake, let us make this
comparison again under the third and
fourth provisional assumptions, and also under a new assump-
tion, namely, that the fluid for which room is made or whose
room is taken by a move of the partition from a medium to an
extreme (or the reverse) displacement on the same side (eith-
er above or below the normal position) is a negligible quanti-
ty. That this assumption simplifies our representation of the
successive positions of the several sections of the partition is
clear, since we may thus take the length of each section pro-
portional to the ordinate difference of the corresponding points
of the curve. For instance, the third and fourth sections in
figure 29, which move down at C, would be longer than pro-
portional to the ordinate difference of the points B and C in
figure 26 if the fluid displaced by the first and second sections
in moving from an extreme position at B to a medium displace-
ment at C were not a negligible quantity. In the latter case,
the fluid displaced by the first and second sections during the
96 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
time from B to C would have to be made room for by the third
and fourth sections, which, then, by necessity would extend
farther to the right than in proportion to the stirrup movement
from B to C. To take this into account would extraordinarily
complicate the graphic representation without offering, at
present, a correspondingly great advantage. This additional
extension of the third and fourth sections to the right could
be but slight since the amount of fluid in question would be
but slight. This becomes clear from a glance at figure 27.
We have learnt from this figure that some pressure added to
a given pressure does not cause a proportional, but a much
smaller increment to be added to the previous displacement of
the partition; and thus the amount of fluid in question may be
entirely neglected without depriving us of the right to regard
our representation as an approximation to the actual positions
of the partition sections.
We may, then, under the third, fourth, and sixth pro-
visional assumptions, regard the relative intensities of the
tones as proportional to the ordinate dif-
Theurclative ferences in the table belonging to figure
intensities of 26. We find in the table the value 1473: as
2 and 1 expressing the ordinate difference of C and
D, the value 1125 of D and E, 1125
of E and F, and 1473 of F and G, the sum of these last three being
3728. Therefore, under the above simplifying assumptions,
the relative intensity of the tone 2 compared with 1 is about
as fifteen to thirty-seven.
Let us now apply our theory to the ratio of the vibration
rates 5:8. The curve in figure 30 represents the function

for +. This is impossible because the equations to be solved
would be of the eighth degree. We have to use, therefore,
the only method left, however great our sacrifice of time, and
to calculate directly a sufficiently large number of values from
which we then select the largest and smallest. In this way the
values of the table have been obtained. By adding 199 to each
of the values of the first column we get the third column,
which offers the advantage of containing only positive ordi-
nates. This procedure is equivalent to selecting a different
horizontal coordinate, which is always dependent on our
choice. The ordinate value zero, thus obtained, is the one which
belongs to point A in figure 30. The successive positions of
the partition corresponding, under the sixth provisional as-
sumption, to all the maxima, minima, and inflection points of

sections. From % to B they move down, and from B to D up.
From D to F down, that is, from an ex-
The tone 8 treme upward position to a medium up-
ward position; and from F to H_ they
move up again, that is, from a medium upward position to an
extreme upward position. From H to J they move down, and
from J to L up, completing thus the third down and up move-
ment. From L to N they move down and from N to P up,
completing thus the fourth down and up movement. From
P to R they move down, and from R to T up, completing
thus the fifth down and up movement. From T to V down,
and from V to X up, completing thus the sixth down and up
movement. From X to Z down, and from Z to 8 up, com-
pleting thus the seventh down and up movement. From 6
to ® down and from D to § up again. The nerve ends lo
cated on these twenty-five sections therefore receive eight
shocks during the period, and accordingly, convey the sen-
sation of the tone 8.

first move down from % to B, and up from B to D. Down
from D to F, and up from F to H. Down from H to J, and

Down from P to R, and up from R to T. Down from T to

to %. The nerve ends located on these sections therefore
receive seven shocks during the period. But, in accordance
with previous considerations, it is highly impfobable that they
could convey the sensation of the tone 7. When seven shocks
are received in time intervals identical with those of the tone
8, and when the eighth shock, at the moment Z, chances to
be omitted, it is rather to be expected that the tone 8 is
heard, only with a little pause or, perhaps, merely a diminu-
tion of intensity at the moment Z. The sensation conveyed
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 107
by these nerve ends, then, is probably the tone 8 slightly
beating, that is, being characterized by a slight roughness.

receive seven shocks during the period; but, here as above,
it is highly improbable that they could convey, merely be-
cause of the omission of the stimulus at Z, the sensation of the
tone 7 instead of 8. Most probably the tone heard is 8 with
a slight roughness.

therefore, receive a shock between E and I, but receive the
other seven shocks in the same manner as the two hundred and
forty initial sections. For the same reasons as in the similar
cases with which we have met before, it is not probable that
these nerve ends convey the tone 7, but rather the tone 8 with
a slight beat occurring once during the period, producing a
slightly rough tone 8.

We notice that the tone 8 decreases in intensity from 56.6
to 42.7, to 16.1, to 13.4, and finally disappears entirely. This
latter case, however, does not mean that now the tone 5 is
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 123
alone audible. We see from the table that even now, in ad-
dition to 5, the very weak difference tone 3 and the fairly
strong difference tones 2 and 1 are to be expected by the ob-
server.
As to the several difference tones, the most favorable con-
dition for 6 seems to be, to have the component 5 of the com-
pound stirrup movement somewhat more pronounced than 8.
It appears, however, that in no case will this difference tone
become very conspicuous. The most favorable condition for
the difference tone 3 seems to be, to have the component 8 of
stirrup movement about as strong as 5. The difference tones
2 and 1, on the other hand, appear with a maximum of in-
tensity when the component 5 of stirrup movement is some-
what greater than 8. But their intensities are but little less
in case the amplitudes of the two stirrup movements 8 and
5 are equal. With respect to all the difference tones taken to-
gether, it appears that these tones are very unfavorably influ-
enced by a considerable difference in the amplitudes of the
component stirrup movements, for no difference tone has a
maximum intensity in either the first or the fifth case. And
1Although this booklet is devoted to theory and not to experimental
methods of research, I cannot refrain from mentioning a way of testing
the theoretical results just spoken of, because it is so easy for any one who
possesses a skillful hand and a trained ear, and the observation to be made
is so pretty. No instruments are required but two good tuning forks on
resonance boxes, accurately tuned in the ratio of 5:8, and a bass bow. The
fork 5 must be sounded first, as strongly as possible, and it is necessary to
have a fork which continues to sound strongly for quite a while. Then
the bow is applied with the most delicate touch to the fork 8. It is neces-
sary for the success of the experiment that the intensity of the higher tone
vibration be increased from zero very slowly and uniformly. If these con-
ditions are fulfilled, one suddenly hears the low difference tones 1 and 2
being added distinctly to the tone 5, whereas of 8 no trace is yet audible.
If now the fork 8 is left to itself, and the fork 5 is stopped by firmly touch-
ing it with a finger, the tone 5 together with the difference tones disap-
pears, but immediately one hears with surprising clearness the tone 8, which
a moment ago was entirely inaudible. No similar observation can be
made with a strongly sounding fork 8 and a weakly sounding fork 5. Ac-
cording to our theoretic deduction the lower tone does not become
inaudible when the amplitude of 8 is three times that of 5, but still has a
respectable intensity.
124 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
a prevailing intensity of 8 seems to be even less favorable to the
difference tones than a prevailing intensity of 5. All these con-
clusions have, of course, only a relative value, since taking into
account the various provisional assumptions changes the result
considerably.
Let us study one more combination of sinusoidal stirrup
movements. We have had only one interval greater than an
octave, the combination 4 and 9. But
The combination We did not, then, take into account the in-
3 and 8. The flection points of the curve. Let us do
amplitude of 3 this with the combination 3 and 8, taking
twice that of 8 the amplitude of 3 twice as great as that

amplitudes would be no less arbitrary. The curve in figure
40. represents the function
f(+) = 2sin3v + sin8x.

We notice that the tone 3 is theoretically by far the
‘strongest, as is to be expected. Of the difference tones, the
tones 2, 1, and 5 appear to be somewhat more pronounced than
4 and 6. Under different assumptions concerning the physical
properties of the partition these results would, of course, be
somewhat different.
Throughout our previous discussions we have never taken
into account the possibility of the tone intensities being
further modified by a more central nervous
Weber’s law condition like the one usually referred to
in audition as Weber’s law. All our various approxi-
mations towards the intensities of the ner-
vous processes take into consideration only conditions in the
peripheral organ. Whether the intensities thus found are
modified more centrally in accordance with Weber’s law or
130 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
not, is a question which at present must be left entirely open,
like so many others, because of lack of experimental data.
Whenever we have spoken of “amplitudes” we have
meant exclusively the amplitudes of stirrup movement. In
order to make use of our theory in experi-
Sounding bodies mental investigations we must remember
and stirrup the fact that the stirrup movements result
movement from movements of the tympanum, trans-
mitted by a rather complicated system of
levers, the auditory ossicles. It is quite probable that the
vibratory movements of the stirrup—even when these move-
ments are highly complex—are approximately like those re-
ceived by the hammer, the ossicle attached to the tympanum.
But no one knows as yet how close or remote this approxima-
tion is. We certainly have no right to regard this approxima-
tion as infinitely close, save by way of a provisional assump-
tion.
The movements of the tympanum result from rhythmical
changes of the density of the external air. These density
changes, in experimental investigations, are sometimes pro-
duced by the vibrations of gaseous bodies, as in labial organ pipes;
more frequently, however, by the vibrations of solid bodies, par-
ticularly of tuning forks on resonance boxes. Now, we must not
think that by graphically recording—which is a comparatively
easy method—the vibrations of a tuning fork, we obtain a record
of the exact form of the resulting air waves. It has been
experimentally and mathematically proved that the form of
the resulting air waves must be more or less different from
the form of the vibratory movement of the fork or other solid
body. The cause of this alteration of the form is to be found
in the fact that the layer of air which adjoins the solid body
and therefore directly receives the impulses from that body,
is unsymmetric with respect to its elastic properties, because
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 131
it is in contact on one side with a practically unyielding body,
on the opposite side with the easily yielding air.
It is of the utmost importance, therefore, if we wish to
develop the theory by experimental investigation, to keep
free from the delusion that any of the above theoretic results,
say, in the case of the combination 5 and 8 with equal ampli-
tudes, applies to what we hear in case two tuning forks of the
vibration ratio 5:8, standing at an arbitrary distance from
our ears and from the reflecting walls of our laboratory, vi-
brate with equal amplitudes. It is only by way of approxima-
tion that we can derive any theoretic conclusion from such an
experiment. The starting point of our theory is the form of
movement of the stirrup, not of external sounding bodies.
Under ordinary conditions, it is a great advantage that we
possess two organs of hearing, some distance apart. In ex-
perimental investigations, however, for the
The duality of development of a theory of audition, this
our auditory fact is often a serious obstacle. Since we
organ cannot make experiments on audition while
soaring like an eagle, any source of sound
is likely to surround our body with standing waves, resulting
from reflection. Let us regard the velocity of sound as three
hundred and thirty meters, the distance between our ears as
about fifteen centimeters. A tone of five hundred and fifty
complete vibrations, that is, a tone representing the ordi-
nary human voice quite well, has therefore a wave length of
about sixty centimeters. The distance between a nodal point,
where the rhythmic density changes of the air occur with full
intensity, and a point of maximum vibratory movement, where
there are practically no density changes affecting the tympa-
num, is then about fifteen centimeters. That is, it might
happen with standing waves—if the head was kept perfectly

movement would be almost zero in one ear, but very large in
132 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
the other, and every movement of the head would greatly alter
these conditions; while the resulting consciousness would be,
of course, the sum total of the tones heard by each ear. It
is unnecessary to point out in further detail how this fact of
hearing with two ears complicates the comparison of experi-
mental results with the theoretical deductions of the present
study, which refer only to one stirrup and one inner ear, and
to an unalterable form of the components of stirrup movement
in a given case.
The fact that we have two ears would be irrelevant only
with exceedingly high tones, whose wave lengths in air would
be so small as to be negligible quantities in comparison with
the distance between our ears, as the wave lengths of light
are negligible quantities in comparison with the distance be-
tween our eyes and even with the sensory elements of each
eye.
Every one is familiar with the comparative clearness with
which the ticking of a watch or the sound of a tuning fork
is perceived if the vibrating body is firmly

the ear drum Some believe that the physiological func-
tion of the ear in such a case is not essen-
tially different from hearing under ordinary conditions; that the
sound waves, the rhythmic changes of molecular density, which
pass through the head, naturally pass also through the cavities
of the head, of which one, the middle ear, particularly concerns
us here. As soon as rhythmic changes of density occur in
the air of the middle ear, the tympanum adjusts itself to them
by rhythmically moving back and forth. The stirrup cannot
help following the tympanum, and so on. The only difference
between this case and a case of ordinary hearing consists
in the fact that the changes of density of the air affecting
the tympanum originate on the inside of the tympanum in-
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR - 133
stead of on the outside, and that they must, on the whole,
be much weaker in the former case.
There can be little doubt that the process just spoken
of actually occurs. Some have insisted also on the possibility
of hearing when the middle ear is destroyed and no movements
of the stirrup occur. There is no reason why we should a
priori deny the possibility of a shock being received by the
nerve ends whenever a rhythmical change of molecular den-
sity takes its path directly through them. Such a molecular
wave might originate from a vibrating solid body being pressed
against skull or teeth, or from sound waves in the air strik-
ing the head and passing through it.
We must not overlook the fact, however, that even when
the tympanum is totally destroyed, if sounds are perceived,
the perception need not be the result of the sound waves
simply passing through the nerves. Even in such a case stirrup
movements are not excluded. If we blow over the mouth of
a bottle, we cause rhythmical changes of density within the
bottle, and, as a natural consequence, the air in the
neck of the bottle rushes back and forth. These move-
ments may often be observed with the naked eye when a fiber
adherent to the inside of the neck of a bottle is forced by friction
to follow the movements of the air. Now, when rhythmic
changes of density occur in a middle ear whose tympanum is
destroyed, there must naturally occur a back and forth move-
ment of the air in the air passage, just as in the neck of a
bottle. These back and forth movements of the air may
cause by friction corresponding movements of the hammer
and anvil and thus of the stirrup. No doubt, stirrup move-
ments which are caused in this way must be of small magni-
tude. But no one who knows the surprisingly small amount
of mechanical energy which is sufficient to call forth a response
of the auditory organ will deny that they might result in an
auditory sensation.
134 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
If not only a part or the whole of the tympanum is de-
stroyed, but the chain of ossicles is also lost, the mechanical
processes in the inner ear could be brought about by pressure
differences on the two windows. An air wave, coming in
through the external passage and the open middle ear, would
at any given moment affect the two windows with a slightly
different phase, arriving at one window a little earlier than
at the other. This difference of phase means, of course, a
difference of air pressure on the windows, and a difference of
air pressure on the windows, according to the laws
of mechanics, results in a movement of the internal fluid
from the point of higher to that of lower pressure. It is plain,
however, that this difference of phase, owing to the small distance
between the two windows, must be very slight; and hearing which
results in this way must be rather weak. But its possibility cannot
be doubted.
Few cases, therefore, will be found where a sound is
heard and we have to have recourse to the rather improbable
assumption that the mere passing of molecular waves of
density changes through the head and, thus, through the audi-
tory nerve ends directly results in some weak response of the
nerves. Nevertheless at least we may admit this assumption
as possible. To admit it as possible would not cause any diffi-
culty in comprehending the ordinary phenomena of audition,
which might thus seem to become more complicated because
such density waves must, of course, pass through the head
whenever anybody hears anything. But such effects on the
nerve ends, granted that they always exist, must ordinarily
be overpowered by the incomparably stronger stimulations
simultaneously received by the nerve ends by way of the
stirrup movement.
Having studied the function of the human ear, it is in-
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 135
teresting to compare this with the organ of hearing of the
lower vertebrates. Figure 42 indicates the
Comparative manner of evolution of the cochlea. An
anatomy of the original pit (Fig. 42 a) as found in a frog is
auditory organ gradually lengthened and assumes in the birds
a banana-like shape (Fig. 42 b), showing a
distinct tendency to coil. In mammals the process of lengthening
and coiling has proceeded so far that the organ (Fig. 42 c), if it
were transparent, would appear as a spiral. It is clear that the
coiling can have little influence,on the mechanical function
of the organ. The lengthening of the organ, however, is of
the utmost functional importance. The original pit does not
differ materially from the other cavities which we find within
Fig. 42. Evolution of the auditory
organ
the labyrinth, communicating with the semicircular canals.
In this pit movements of the fluid caused by movements of
the stirrup—or rather columella plate, since the lower verte-
brates have a much simpler connection of tympanum and
oval window—produce, probably by mere friction, stimulation
of the endings of the auditory nerve. The organ of the birds
must function more nearly like the human organ, excepting
the difference of function resulting from the fact that the endings
of the auditory nerve are spread out over a small linear extent,
whereas in the mammals they are distributed over a long distance.
136 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
In birds one can hardly speak of some nerve ends being farther
away from the windows than others.
It is of some interest, in this connection, to note that ani-
mals with a short tube, as the birds, do not possess in the par-
tition of the tube the pillars of Corti. They can get along
without these pillars. And naturally. The longer the tube,
the greater is the maximum pressure which may act upon the
partition near the windows, in case the bulging of the partition
is forced to proceed far towards the end of the tube. The
greater the possible pressure, the greater is, of course, the need
of a skeleton-like support in order to protect the sensitive cells
from collapsing. Thus the mammals need the pillars because
of the greater length of the tube.
What must be the difference of sound perception resulting
from these anatomical differences in various species of ani-
mals? We saw that the human ear can
perceive several tones at the same time be-
Comparative / ‘ ;
psychology of cause the linear extension of the auditory
the sense of organ permits the compound mechanical
: gan p p
hearing processes, transmitted from the stirrup to
the fluid of the cochlea, to be analyzed into
much simpler mechanical processes taking place in successive
sections of the partition. It is plain, then, that in the auditory
pit of a frog no analysis is possible. The result must be that
the frog’s ear can perceive only one tone at any moment; and
this tone is most probably, as a rule, the highest of the sev-
eral tones heard simultaneously under the same circumstances
by the human ear.
The bird’s ear, as we have seen, is intermediate between
the frog’s ear and the human ear. But it does not seem very
probable that even birds can perceive very many tones simulta-
neously. The fact that birds sing is no indication to the con-
trary, since their song does not consist—like orchestral music
—of simultaneous, but only of successive tones. Of more sig-
nificance, in this respect, is the fact that some birds, for ex-
MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 137
ample, parrots, are able to imitate human speech sounds.
Speech sounds are characterized, according to the present state
of phonetics, by particular groupings of tones in both simul-
taneity and succession. It is not certain that the rough imi-
tation of human speech sounds by parrots is more than an
imitation of the successive groupings of tones. Granted even
that the birds possess the ability to perceive more than one
tone simultaneously, the anatomical facts would make it prob-
able that this ability is very limited in comparison with the
human ear which perceives the most varied combinations of
tones in speech sounds and in harmonic music.
Let us now briefly look back upon what we have done.
We have regarded the organ of hearing as a long and narrow
tube, filled with a practically incompress-
hheineedios ible fluid and divided lengthwise by an im-
experimental perfectly elastic partition which is the seat
data of the auditory nerve ends. We have found
that the problem of determining exactly,
for each given form of stirrup movement, the mechanical pro-
cesses taking place in the tube is from the mathematical side
an almost hepelessly complex one, made still more difficult
by the lack of data concerning the mere facts of hearing as
well as the elastic and other physical properties of the parti-
tion. In order to overcome the intrinsic and accidental diffi-
culties standing in our way, we have introduced six simpli-
fying provisional assumptions; not using all six in every case,
but now some of them, now others, according as the purpose
of the moment seems to warrant. We have thus obtained a
superficial, but for a beginning satisfactory, insight into the
wonderful machinery by which we analyze the complicated
sound waves with a result which—for example, with respect
to the hearing of difference tones—is most surprizing to one
who knows nothing of the mechanics of the inner ear.
138 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES
The theory thus developed does not pretend to be the
ultimate solution of the problems attacked. We do not pos-
sess the data upon which to found a final
theory. But we shall scarcely obtain these
The necessity data without the guidance of a the-
ae ory. Experimental research must be
systematic, must start from a theory, how-
ever imperfect this may be, in order to lead to
scientific advancement. If the theory here offered succeeds
in stimulating experimental research in a field somewhat neg-
lected for many years, the author’s hope will be realized.

PREFACE
During the summer of 1906 I was employed by the Depart-
ment of Botany of the University of Missouri to collect plants
in Colorado for the Herbarium of the University. I spent,
therefore, a period of two months and a half in this work. I
arrived at Boulder, Colorado, June eighteenth, and departed
thence September third. All the collecting was done in Boul-
der County, and the greater part of it within a radius of five
miles from the city of Boulder. I collected altogether about
1,036 species of flowering plants and ferns. The vernal plants,
of course, had blossomed before my arrival, but except for
these the flora of Boulder is fairly well shown in the collection.
In the list of plants here given there have been included
all that are known to occur in Boulder County; but inasmuch
as the boundary between Grand and Boulder Counties lies
along the summits of the main range of mountains it is impos-
sible often to tell in what county a given plant has been col-
lected. Similarly Long’s Peak lies partly in Larimer County
and partly in Boulder County. In all cases in which plants
have been cited from a mountain lying partly in Boulder Coun-
ty, these have been included in the list, unless a definite locali-
ty in the other county is given. Plants admitted to the list
because of the citations given in Rydberg’s Flora of Colorado
al
xii PREFACE
are ascribed to Rydberg; it is of course understood that this
ascription does not imply that these plants were collected by
Rydberg in the localities named, but merely that by examina-
tion of the plants or otherwise he is satisfied that they occur
in those places. In the case of plants collected by myself I
have added the collection number, so that these can be identi-
fied at any time. I may add that besides the set of Boulder
plants in the Herbarium of the University of Missouri, there
is a duplicate set in the Herbarium of the Michigan Agricul-
tural College; there is also a set in my own possession. The
Herbarium of the Missouri Botanical Garden has an incom-
plete set. As the numbers are the same for all plants of the
same species, the identification of any of these plants can be
made out from the number given in the list.
In the introduction I have sought to present what knowl-
edge I have of the distribution of plants in Boulder County.
I have tried to present them in their natural plant-societies.
I saw, however, too little of the montane, subalpine, and the
alpine floras to be able to give a comprehensive account of these,
and it must be remembered that I did not see the vernal facies
of any portion of the vegetation.
As to nomenclature I have followed, except where plainly
deficient in the light of later investigation, that of Rydberg’s
Flora of Colorado. While I feel that in the case of both
genera and species there has been an over-multiplication—as
for instance the splitting up of such a natural group as the
pines into several genera, yet at the time of the preparation
of this Flora the only convenient guide was Rydberg’s work.
It is to Professor T. D. A. Cockerell of the University of
Colorado to whom I am most indebted for assistance in this
work. Remote both from the vegetation itself and from an
PREFACE Xiil
adequate library, I could not have carried on the work at all
without his cheerful codperation. He has examined every
page of the manuscript, and I owe much to his apt suggestions
and kindly criticism. My thanks are also due to Professor
Francis Ramaley for his kindness in examining the proof-
sheets, and to Professor J. Henderson who has perused the
article on the physiography. Both have given me notes of
much value.

INTRODUCTION
I. PHYSIOGRAPHY
Boulder, Colorado, lies nestling close to the Rocky Moun-
tains just north of the 4oth parallel. There the foot-
hills are strikingly beautiful and high, and only twenty miles
away Arapahoe Peak, clasping to its bosom the best glacier
of the southern Rockies, gleams whitely in full view, while
twenty-four miles to the northwest towers jaggedly Long’s
Peak, 14,271 ft. high, the highest point in Boulder County, and
one of the highest peaks of the Rocky Mountains. Away to
the eastward the plain stretches unbrokenly, save for an oc-
casional butte, till lost to vision. There is then room for a
great diversity of vegetation, ranging from the semi-desert
plants of the arid plains to the arctic plants that grow at the
wasting edge of the perpetual snow.
The Continental Divide, which, due west of Boulder,
touches its easternmost point in North America, is only from
twenty to twenty-four miles away. It rises as a vast snow-
covered wall of rock to an average height of from 11,000 to
12,000 feet; the highest points in the Divide in this region
are Long’s Peak, 14,271 ft., Mt. Audubon, 13,173 ft., Mt.
Baldy, 11,470 ft., Arapahoe Peak, 13,520 ft., and James’
Peak, 13,283 ft. Due west of Boulder Arapahoe Pass
crosses the Divide at an altitude of 12,000 feet. It
will be seen, therefore, that there is an almost impassable
barrier between the vegetation of the Pacific slope and that of
149] I
2 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES [150
the Atlantic. Since this barrier is almost everywhere above
timberline, only a few Pacific species are found on the Atlantic
side of the slope within the region about Boulder. Perhaps
the most interesting exception is the occurrence of one of the
orchids, Piperia Unalaschensis (Spreng.) Rydb., a few indi-
viduals of which I found in the foot-hills near Boulder, and
which is not known to occur elsewhere east of the mountains
of Utah, it having its main range from Alaska to California.
All the streams of Boulder County flow ultimately into the
South Fork of the Platte river, and thence into the Missouri
and the Mississippi. Boulder creek, the chief stream of the
region, and one of the headwaters of the Platte, is fed from the
snows ‘of the Divide, especially between Arapahoe and James’
Peaks. Just over the other side of the Divide are some of the
headwaters of Grand river, which flows into the Colorado,
and thence into the Gulf of California.
All the matn streams in Boulder County have their sources
in the wasting snows of the Main Range. These have cut gor-
ges, in most cases over a thousand feet deep, into the elevated
plateau between the main range and the foot-hills proper, and
by means of these deep valleys have transformed this plateau
into what are now really mountain masses, having an average
altitude of about 8,000 feet, the eastern and western slopes of
which are long longitudinal valleys, and the northern and
southern ones the precipitous gorges cut by the streams. Be-
tween Boulder and the Main Range there are about four of
these mountain ridges, the first, or that of the foot-hills proper,
rising to a height of from 7,000 to 8,600 feet, the others slightly
lower, having an altitude of about 7,500 to 8,000 feet. Among
these Sugarloaf Mountain stands out prominently as an
isolated peak a thousand feet higher, it being a por-

phyry dike, and thus weathering more slowly than the
granitic peaks. This whole elevated plateau, cut by
streams into what now appear as definite mountain
ridges, we shall call the foot-hills, although the foot-hills
proper are the ridges of sandstone at the edge of this granite
plateau. The flora, however, is the same, save for
a few ferns and other rock-plants which are confined to cer-
tain kinds of rocks, some to the limestones, others to the sand-
stones, still others to the granite.
The main range of mountains as well as the high plateau
at its base is composed of granite, granite-porphyry, and
granite-gneiss, gray or reddish in color. Dikes are frequent,
either of pegmatite or of felsitic porphyry. When the uplift
or uplifts occurred, which made the Rocky Mountains, the
sedimentary rocks resting upon the basement of granite, were
tilted until they stood nearly on end. The jagged crags of the
foot-hills proper are, then, the ends of these sedimentary layers.
Thus it happens, too, that the oldest beds lie next the granite,
while the younger underlie the plains.
The oldest and lowest, that is, the one lying directly upon,
or rather against the granite, is a layer of quartzite 550 feet
thick, and of Algonkin age. This, however, is absent in front
of Boulder and occurs in but two places in the county.
The next, and of Pennsylvanian (Carboniferous) age,
is the red Fountain sandstone, 500 to 1,500 feet thick.
In the immediate vicinity of Boulder it lies directly
upon the granite. On the east slope of Green Moun-
tain it hangs in five triangular blocks of about 500 feet
in thickness at an angle of about 52°. These, called the
Flat-irons, are each about 1,000 feet high and about 1,500
feet wide; the third Flat-iron, however, rises to an altitude
of nearly 8,000 feet, or about 2,000 feet above the mesa. At
4 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES [152
Boulder Cafion the red sandstone walls are vertical. These
perpendicular sandstone crags are the most striking feature
of the scenery of the foot-hills.
Lying next to the Fountain sandstone, and also of Pennsyl-
vanian age, is the creamy Lyons sandstone, which is quarried
in large amounts. It has a maximum thickness of almost 300
feet.
Next in order, and still of Pennsylvanian age, is the Lykins
formation, about 800 feet thick and consisting of sandstones,
sandy shales, and a little limestone. It is easily weathered and
is consequently thickly covered with waste.
The Morrison formation occurs next, and consists of sand-
stone, clays, and limestone, and is a little less than 600 feet
thick. It is of Jurassic age.
Then come various Cretaceous beds, the first of which,
the“‘Dakota,” is a firm sandstone of about 350 feet in thickness.
Its resistance to weathering causes the characteristic hogback
of the foot-hills, consisting of one, two, or even three distinct
combs, or crags.
Then follow in succession the Benton shales, 500 feet
thick; the Niobrara shales and limestones, 400 feet thick; the
Pierre shales, 5,000 feet thick; the Fox Hills shales, 1,300 feet
thick ; and the Laramie beds, which’are coal-bearing and about
115 feet thick. Lastly are the Quaternary deposits of allu-
vium and terrace gravels. The various shales have weathered
and eroded rapidly and underlie the plain, while the more
resistant beds next the granite persist as crags, while the high
mesas at the base of the foot-hills are shale outliers left by
stream-erosion and are really stream terraces.
The soil of the region, outside of the alluvium and ter-
race gravels, is granitic in the mountains, while in the foot-
hills it is apt to be brick-red from the detritus of the red
153] FLORA OF BOULDER, COLORADO 5
sandstones. The soft Lykins formation yields a very red soil.
The Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks have layers of sand and
clay.
II, CLIMATE AND RAINFALL*
The climate of Boulder, however enjoyable it may be to
human beings, can hardly be said to be highly favorable to
plant-life. At least this is true of the foot-hills, the mesas,
and the plains. The Main Range, however, is well watered,
but here the high elevation and the low temperature repress
plant-life. The montane and subalpine slopes have a dense vege-
tation, and yet even here the shallow soil and the rapid run-off
of the water cause portions of them to have the aspect of
deserts. A subalpine meadow has an opulent luxuriance; an
adjoining slope may be gray with sage brush. In part the ap-
parent thinness of vegetation in the mountains may be due to
the superabundance of naked rock. In many portions of the
Rockies the greater part of the surface has no soil whatever,
and only a cranny-and-crevice vegetation is possible. The
Rocky Mountains are new; their rocks are sharp and jagged;
even lichens are rare on their surfaces. About Eldora and
Arapahoe Peak, however, the rocks are beautifully rounded
by glacial action.
In the summer of 1906 there were rains almost daily, many
of them soaking rains, but their distribution was uneven and
capricious. In general the rainfall decreases as the distance
from the snowy range increases. The alpine and subalpine
*For the climatology of the region, consult the article by Professor
Ramaley on the Climatology of the Mesas near Boulder, Univ. of Colo,
Studies, 6, 19-35, also, the paper by Ramaley and Robbins on Redrock
lake near Ward, Univ. of Colo. Studies, 6, 138-147.
6 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES [154
regions receive most; the foot-hills less; the mesas receive
some from every shower; the plains for five or six miles get
a portion of the larger showers; but beyond that for several
hundred miles good rains are very few. The summer
of 1906 was exceptional,* for even the plains about Boulder
seemed to receive more water than do many parts of the
eastern United States in midsummer. When I left Boulder
the third of September, the native vegetation for five or six
miles out on the plain was as green as a prevailingly gray
vegetation well can be; there was no sign of drouth, while
when I reached Missouri and Iowa, the pastures were parched.
In fact what I shall remember most about Colorado is its
exuberance of water. It courses down all the mountain
cafions, roaring and bubbling and dashing into foam. Springs
are frequent and of a pureness and coolness that make them
perfect. On the plains everywhere that one goes, a ditch full
to the brim runs beside one. From the top of Green Mountain
a hundred lakes may be seen gleaming on the plain. It is
plainly a land of abundant rain and water.
And yet why this feverish haste to irrigate the fields, why
these ditches, these sluices, these storage-reservoirs? Why
is land with a water-right worth several hundred dollars an
acre, and land without one but five dollars? And why, to ask
a still deeper question, why does nearly every kind of native
plant have some means of conserving water, or some contriv-
ance for preventing too rapid transpiration? Why do desert
plants meet one at every hand: cacti, yuccae, sages, and
xerophytic grasses? No, this region cannot be a land of
abundant rain and water, in spite of the fact that I have never
*In 1906 the greatest rainfall was recorded (26.17 inches), while 1901
was the driest year (13.67 inches).
155] FLORA OF BOULDER, COLORADO 7
seen so much anywhere else, nor anywhere else have had such
drenchings to the skin. It is a semi-arid land, parched and
thirsty. And the farmer, whom I saw flooding his land the
morning after an all night’s pouring rain, knew from long
experience that there could not be too much water. The
rapid drainage, the light dry air, the fierce light of the high
elevation, the hot sun, the soil unfitted for the retention of
water, all these things parch and wither our cultural plants,
for while the native vegetation has organs for storing water
and for diminishing transpiration, the cultivated plants have
none of these. Nevertheless for the native vegetation in
1906 there was ample water-supply; it grew with an almost
incredible luxuriance, so much so that I found the measure-
ments given in the manuals were often valueless for my pur-
pose, as many of my plants were taller and larger than the
books say that they grow. I was told that after the first of
July there would be no botanizing as everything on the plains
and foot-hills would dry up; but I remained till September
first and the plants did not dry up, and I was able to collect
over a thousand species in about two months and a half.
The following table, which I use by the kind permission of
Professor Ramaley, will furnish the data requisite to an under-
standing of the temperature and rainfall of the region. The
data holds true only for the city of Boulder.

III ZONES OF VEGETATION*
There are six great zones of vegetation about Boulder,
which, proceeding from east to west, are: A. The Zone of
*These zones of vegetation are practically those of Robbins (Cli-
matology and Vegetation in Colorado, Bot. Gaz., 49, 256-280), who rec-
ognized (1) plains, (2) eastern lower foothills and mesas, (3) eastern
upper foothills, 6,000 to 8,000 feet, (4) montane zone, (5) subalpine
zone, (6) alpine zone. Professor Ramaley, however, would unite the
mesas and foothills into one zone (Univ. of Colo. Studies, 5, 50-51).
157] FLORA OF BOULDER, COLORADO 9
the Plains, CAMPESTRES; B. The Zone of the Mesas,
MENSALES; C. The Zone of the Foot-hills and Mountain
Plateau, SUBMONTANABE; fourth, The Zone of the Lower
Mountain Slopes, MONTANAE; fifth, The Zone of the Sub-
alpine Mountain Slopes, SUBALPESTRES; sixth, The
Zone of the Alpine Summits, ALPESTRES. Of these the
Plains Flora, the Foot-hill Flora, the Montane Flora, the Sub-
alpine Flora, and the Alpine Flora are primary, while that of
the Mesas is a transition from the Flora of the Plains to the
Flora of the Foot-hills. The Alpine corresponds to the Arctic
Circumpolar vegetation, the Subalpine to the Hudsonian, the
Montane to the Canadian, the Foot-hill and the Mesa to the
Upper Transition, and that of the Plains to the Lower Transi-
tion with some Upper Sonoran forms.
A. CAMPESTRES
The plains are not so arid about Boulder as they are far-
ther east. In fact after riding for hundreds of miles through
a desert of dried up grass, it is with a feeling of inutterable
joy that one sees this narrow ribbon of green from six to
twelve miles wide at the foot of the mountains. This green-
ness and freshness is due mainly to two causes: First, this
strip receives more rain than does the rest of the Great Plains.
The clouds do not quite rain out before reaching the plains.
These rains are, however, capricious. The clouds are narrow.
The southern part of Boulder may receive a thorough drench-
ing, the northern part may not have a drop. One Sunday
there was a cloud-burst in Sunshine Cafion, farms and bridges
were washed away ; from three to five feet of water came dash-
ing through the main street of Boulder, while it scarcely
sprinkled where I was a half mile to the south. The second
cause is the abundant irrigation.
10 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES [158
The Plains Flora falls into five main societies: The
Aquatic (Aquatiles); The Palustrous (Palustres); The Ri-
parian (Ripariae); The Prairie Meadow, the plains flora
proper, (Campanales); and the Alkali Flat (Alkalinae).
a. Aquatiles, The Aquatic Flora is found in lakes and
streams. It consists of submerged or floating aquatics—pond-
weeds, duckweeds, water-milfoils, hornworts, water starworts,
besides various algae. It is seen best in Owen’s lake and
Boulder lake, which while about twenty feet deep, are very
brackish. The slower streams also have aquatic plants, as do
likewise the aqueous nuclei of swamps and swales. The fol-
lowing is a list of typical species:
Potamogeton lonchites L. minor
P. heterophyllus Ceratophyllum demersum
P. foliosus Callitriche palustris
P. pectinatus C. bifida
P. Spirillus Myriophyllum spicatum
Zanichellia palustris Limosella aquatica
Lemna gibba
All the above species occur in the eastern United States.
b. Palustres. The Palustrous, or Swamp Flora is found
in bogs, in swales, along ditches, and about the miry margins
of ponds and lakes and streams. It consists of rushes, bul-
rushes, sedges, swamp grasses, sweet flags, cat-tails, stick-
tights, swamp asters, water peppers, and various other plants.
I have included here the whole subaquatic flora, since the for-
mation is so slight that it is best treated as a whole without
separation into amphibious, limose, paludose, and uliginose
societies. The following are characteristic species:

d. Campanales. The Prairie Flora is that which is
proper to the greater part of the plains region.
In aspect it
is a vast meadow, above which now and then a yucca rises with
161] FLORA OF BOULDER, COLORADO 13
its bayonet-like leaves and its large cluster of flowers. But
this aspect changes according to the season of the year, nor
is it uniform at any season. As various plants come into
bloom, so is it tinged red or purple, white or yellow; here it
is an upland meadow of broom-grasses with purplish leaves;
there it is dark green with meadow-grasses ; yonder it is white
and hoar with sages. In early summer it is red, or purple,
or blue with loco-weeds, beard-tongues, and thistles, yellow
with golden asters, orange with cone-flowers and gaillardias,
or white with Mexican poppies. In midsummer the psoraleas
are numerous; here and there are large clumps of lupines; the
tall porcupine grasses abound, and sunflowers rear their heads
of gold. In late summer it is yellow with gumweeds of all
kinds, with golden-rods and rabbit-brushes, or purple with
blazing-stars and turkey-foot grasses. In autumn the gray
sages put forth their inconspicuous flowers, the late composites
ripen their achenes and whiten the landscape with their pappus.
But the chief plants of this formation are those not seen—
the little buffalo and mesquite grasses only a few inches high,
but forming the turf of these vast plains. There are no shrubs
proper in this flora. At most there are a few undershrubs
and suffrutescent plants, such as roses, yuccas, and the like.
It should be added that the vegetation of the moister por-
tions of the plains differs, especially in aspect and also some-
what in species, from that of the drier portions; but while it
is possible to distinguish these two elements of the flora in
the extreme cases of moistness and dryness, yet in the greater
part of the area the two vegetations mingle inextricably. I
shall, however, arrange the plants typical of the Great Plains
into two classes, Humidae and Aridae, although the two
classes occur quite commonly together:

The Flora of the Mesas is a transitional flora; the mesas
have most of the plants of the plains and in addition many of
the plants of the foot-hills. There are, however, a considerable
number of species, which are peculiar to the mesas. These
mesas are flat tablelands rising abruptly a hundred feet or so
above the plains in successive terraces. The altitude of the
plains in Boulder County is from 5,000 to 5,500 feet. The
lowest mesa, at an altitude of about 5,600 feet, has the
flora of the plains, but at the next mesa, at an altitude of 5,700
feet, the flora begins to change, and from then on to the foot
of the crags, 6,000 feet, the plains plants gradually tend to
disappear and the foot-hill flora to come in. The highest
mesas are so filled with waste from landslips from the crags,
that they may be said to be an integral part of the foot-hills.
And so, too, the streams have made deep cafions through the
mesas, the flora of which is not so very unlike that of the
cafions of the foot-hills. West of Marshall there is a high bog
on the mesa, but as its plants differ in no wise from the bog
plants of the plains, it will be dismissed with this notice.
Six plant-societies are to be found upon the mesas: a. The
meadow (Pratenses), which differs little from the plains
meadow, although certain mountain species, such as the Mari-

The vegetation of the cactus mesa con-
sists of a few species of cacti, of the prickly Ceanothus Fend-
leri, and a few other xerophytic plants and undershrubs. The
principal cacti are:
Echinocereus viridiflorus
Opuntia mesacantha
O. rhodantha
c. Ensiformes.
O. polyacantha
O. fragilis
O. Greenei
The best example of the Yucca mesa
occurs near the entrance of Bear Cafion. There the ground is
practically denuded, and only sparse clumps of Yuccas and
20 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES [168
bunch-grasses occupy the ground. The two species of im-
portance are Yucca glauca and Eriocoma cuspidata.
d. Sylvestres. A good example of the wooded mesa
lies immediately back of the Chautauqua grounds. There the
bull pine has descended from the foot-hills and taken posses-
sion of the mesa. Besides the bull pine, Pinus scopulorum,
the low juniper, Juniperus Sibirica, is of rare occurrence.
Of herbs the most noteworthy is Arnica pedunculata, which
is frequent under the pines. I found also only there Centun-
culus minimus, perhaps the only known station of this plant in
Colorado, since it is not included in Rydberg’s Flora of Colo-
rado. It is growing with Linaria Canadensis, which is like-
wise an eastern plant.
e. Arbustales. The brush mesa assumes various forms.
Ordinarily some cne species is in control. Occasionally it con-
sists of various haws, as at the entrance of Gregory Cafion,
or of a thicket of juneberries, wax-currants, and skunk-bushes.
South of Bluebell Cafion is a mesa covered with the peculiar
mountain mahogany. Wild cherries and plums are frequent,
and the hackberry occasional in these shrubby thickets. The
principal species are:
Celtis reticulata C. erythropoda
Ribes pumilum Prunus Americana
R. longifolium P. melanocarpa
Oreobatus deliciosus Toxicodendron Rydbergii
Batidaea laetissima Schmaltzia trilobata
Cercocarpus parvifolium Ceanothus Fendleri
Rosa Sayi C. mollissimus
Amelanchier oreophila C. subsericeus
Crataegus occidentalis Symphoricarpos occidentalis

Of herbs the vetches and vetchlings are the most im-
portant:
Vicia sparsifolia V. producta
V. dissitifolia Lathyrus leucanthus
V. oregana
f. Vallicolae. The mesa cafion has a bewildering di-
versity of floral elements, now consisting of thickets of haws
with extremely vicious thorns, wild briers, the long-beaked
hazel, and dwarf maples, now with a fontinal vegetation
strikingly like our own Carolinian. One little gulch at the
base of Flagstaff Hill has a vegetation composed quite wholly
of eastern plants. Here occur Phragmites Phragmites, Sani-
cula Marilandica, Steironema ciliatum, Veronica Americana,
Eupatorium maculatum, and a form of Apios Apios, the last
of which was not known to occur west of eastern Kansas
previous to this collection. Since the streams have cut deeply
into the surface, the cafion of the mesa resembles greatly the
cafion of the foot-hills. There are riparian, rupestrine, clivose,
and fontinal elements compressed within the space of a few
feet. Mountain forms follow these streams often for some
distance into the plain. And yet the facies of the flora is dis-
tinctly eastern. Here are haws, hazels, maples, grapes, wild
cherries, willows, cottonwoods, dogwoods, nine-barks. The
herbs, too, have an eastern look—sweet cicelies, false Solo-
mon’s seals, water-leafs, fragile ferns, avens, bog-orchids. It
is true that a closer examination reveals the fact that many of
these plants belong to species which are strictly western, yet the
fact remains that there is little in the vegetation that impresses
as strange, one who is familiar only with the eastern flora,
while all about him in plain, mesa, foot-hill, and mountain are
utterly unfamiliar types of vegetation. So in this narrow

The Foot-hill Flora covers not only the true foot-hills of
the sandstone crags, but also the lower part of the mountain
plateau. The flora is rich but monotonous. In most places the
vegetation is thin; it is mainly a forest, but the trees are
strewn but sparsely over the steep slopes. The amount of
naked rock is very great. The altitude ranges from 5,800 to
8,600 feet. Some of the main streams, such as Boulder creek,
have cut down to about 5,500 feet. Directly west of Boulder,
and lying between Boulder and Gregory Cajfions, is Flagstaff
Hill with an altitude of about 6,500 feet. Southwest of Boulder
is Green Mountain, lying between Gregory and Bear Cafions
and having an altitude of 8,100 feet. South of Green Moun-
tain is Bear Mountain, which attains a height of 8,600 feet,
and is the loftiest peak in the first range of foot-hills in the
vicinity of Boulder.
The Foot-hill Flora merges rather abruptly into that of the
mesas at the foot of the crags, and melts insensibly into the
Subalpine Flora as it approaches the Main Range. It reaches
its maximum development between an altitude of 6,500 and
24 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES [172
7,000 feet. Below 6,500 feet there occur still many species be-
longing to the Great Plains; above 7,000 feet there is a rapid
thinning out of species, and subalpine species become occas-
ional, although it is not rare for such species in cold situations
to go down to the 6,000 foot level. Yet at the summit of
Green Mountain (8,100 feet) I found the flora still consisting in
the main of the genuine foot-hill species. The Foot-hill Flora
may be gathered into four main societies: a. The wooded
slope (Sylvestres). b. The foot-hill meadow (Pratenses).
c. The foot-hill cafion (Vallicolae). d. The crevice and
cranny vegetation of the rocks (Rimosae).
a. Sylvestres.* The wooded slope society consists quite
purely of bull pine and Douglas spruce, with now and then
a few trees of other species of pine, and spruce, and fir. The
trees stand usually at wide intervals, oftenest in rows, where
some fault in the rock enables them to get a secure foothold.
Occasionally on the north slopes, which are moister than any
other, the trees stand in such close formation that it is almost
impossible to make one’s way through them. Ordinarily it is
the Douglas spruce that behaves in this way, since the bull
pine prefers a more open formation. Often two rather dis-
*Young (Bot. Gaz. 44, 321-352) finds the following forest associa-
tions about Boulder: 1. Populus occidentalis—Salix fluviatilis, riparian
upon the plains, but extending somewhat up the cafions. 2. Populus
angustifolia—Salix Nuttallii, riparian in the foothills. 3. Pinus scop u
lorum, sylvan on the dry slopes of the foothills. 4. Pinus Murrayana,
sylvan on the dry mountain sides. 5. Apinus flexilis, dry mountain
slopes up to timber line. 6. Pseudotsuga—Picea Engelmanni, lower
cafions (submontane and montane). 7. Picea Engelmanni—-Abies
lasiocarpa, upper cafions (high montane and subalpine to timber line).
8. Aspen society, throughout (north slopes at low altitudes, all slopes
higher altitudes).

tinct forms of forest are discernible, the one of bull pine, the
other of Douglas spruce; at other times the two are mixed.
The Douglas spruce is at its best in moist ravines, and ascends
to timber-line on the mountains, while the bull pine seldom gets
above 9,000 feet. The following are characteristic species:

b. Pratenses. The foot-hill meadow is not very unlike
the mesa meadow; the species are in part the same, but there
is no sharp line between the flora of the foot-hill forest and the
foot-hill meadow, on account of the openness of the former.
Only where the forest is dense enough to have a truly sylvan
floor, are the light-loving plants absent. The foot-hill meadow
society includes various grasses and certain herbs, such as
painted-cups, fleabanes, Mariposa lilies, anemones, gaillardias,
and the like. The following are the characteristic grasses and
sedges:

Bromus lanatipes C. pratensis
B. Richardsonii C. siccata
c. WVallicolae. The foot-hill cafion society consists of
dense thickets of hazel, dwarf birch, willows, dogwoods, al-
ders, and the like. About springs and along small rills is
found a brief fontinal vegetation, the most delicate of all the
plant-groups—mosses, liverworts, ferns, tway-blades, adder’s-
mouths, twisted-stalks, mountain lilies, shooting stars, cresses,
sedges, and bog-orchids. The foot-hill cafion flora differs from
28 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES [176
the mesa cafion principally in the absence of the chaparral ele-
ment, the haws and wild plums being absent. Most of the re-
maining shrubs and arborescent plants are identical—the

roses, and gooseberries. The Rocky Mountain red cedar
stands often in grotesquely gnarled and twisted forms at
the verges of the crags. It mav be remarked that this flora
is of prime importance, since so large a portion of the region
‘consists of naked rock. In fact the foot-hill flora in general
is more or less rupestrine in character. There is gathered here
only the strictly rock-loving vegetation. These are typical

to the summits, or some 600 feet higher.
It is for the most part a forest of lodgepole pine. The zone
includes the slopes of the main range below 10,000 feet, and
also the higher portions of the adjacent mountain plateau.
Some of its characteristic species, indeed, tend to spread
throughout the mountain plateau, and in cold valleys may
even go as low as 6,000 feet. The montane as also the
subalpine slopes have abundant rainfall, showers occur-
ring nearly every afternoon. At least this was true of the sum-
mer of 1906. The ground is often boggy and springy, and
cold with snow water. On north and east slopes the snow
remains in the higher and deeper valleys till midsummer ;
179] FLORA OF BOULDER, COLORADO 31
hence the flowering season is short. In a period of about six
weeks, from the middle of July to the first of September, the
main part of the vegetation in these cool valleys is brought to
perfection. Species, which on the mesas had bloomed before
my arrival on the eighteenth of June, I found just in blossom
at Eldora on the mountainsides August thirty-first.
I saw too little of the Montane Flora, since I spent only
six days in collections, where it occurs, to be able to separate
it definitely into plant-societies. But the chief types as I saw it
at Ward, Eldora, and Glacier lake, will be briefly described.
In the Montane Subzone there are, perhaps, six tolerably
distinct types of vegetation-association: a. The montane
forest (Sylvales). b. The montane bog (Paludosae). c.
The montane lake (Lacustres). d. The arid brush slope
(Arbustales). e. The montane meadow (Pratenses). f.
The montane stream (Amnicolae).
a. Sylvales. The montane sylva consists of a close for-
est of lodgepole pine interspersed with some bull pine and
Rocky Mountain white pine, as well as with the various
spruces and firs. The spruces and firs occur principally in the
valleys, while on the barren ridges, the pines assume a scrub-
like form. On these ridges occur many peculiar species of
dwarf herbs—golden rods, asters, fleabanes, cat’s-feet, actin-
ellas, groundsels. A few of the more characteristic species of
the montane sylva are the following:

The aspen, however, is not confined to the bogs, but forms
groves in slight depressions throughout the mountains, and oc-
curs on Green Mountain not much, if any, above 6,000 feet.
The aspen occurs in the drier portions of the bogs along with
other uliginose plants. The bog vegetation is very rich in
species. A fine specimen of the montane bog is found just
west of Eldora at an elevation of 8,600 feet. The following
are characteristic species :

ing bur-reed, Sparganium angustifolium, the white water-
crowfoot, Batrachium flaccidum, and the aquatic mudwort,
Limosella aquatica. The yellow pond-lily, Nymphaea poly-
sepala, grows also in some of these high lakes.
d. Arbustales. The arid brush slope vegetation consists
quite wholly of the true sage-brush, Artemisia tridentata. This
community is rare in the region, and I have seen it only be-
tween Glacier lake and Eldora near Bluebird mine.
e. Pratenses. The montane meadow is truly a paradise
of flowers. It is not uncommon to see acre upon acre of
meadow glorious with purple and blue and red and yellow and
white and scarlet. Never have I seen flowers anywhere else
in such profusion nor with such gorgeous hues—monkshoods,
larkspurs, louseworts, milk-vetches, locoweeds, squawweeds,
death-camasses, grasses, rushes, sedges, and blue-eyed grasses.
The following species are typical:

f. Amnicolae. The montane stream vegetation is seen
at its best about small rills. Along the larger streams it as-
sumes a typical riparian aspect, much like that of the canon
society of the foot-hills along the large streams. Since the
water in these streams is very cold inasmuch as they are fed
from the wasting snows of the alpine valleys, the montane
vegetation can scarcely be distinguished from the true sub-
alpine vegetation of the streams. The list of species will,
therefore, be deferred until the subalpine stream vegetation
is reached.
E. SUBALPESTRES
The Subalpine zone extends from about the 10000 foot
level to timberline, and hence coincides with the upper slopes
of the Main Range. It is in the main a forest of Engelmann
spruce, with occasional high meadows and bogs. Lakes, too,
are numerous.
I have personal knowledge of only two formations: a.
The subalpine forest (Sylvales). b. The subalpine stream
(Amnicolae).
a. Ses.lval. The subalpine forest consists mainly of
Engelmann spruce, Picea Engelmanni, and balsam fir,Abies
lasiocarpa. I have but a very slight knowledge of the herbs
characterizing this formation, but I noticed along the Arapahoe
Trail the following species, which I had not seen in the mon-
185 | FLORA OF BOULDER, COLORADO 37
tane forest: Eriogonum subalpinum, Arnica Parryt, and Sene-
cio atratus. A large number of the montane sylvan species
were observed.
b. Amnicolae. The subalpine stream vegetation is very
luxuriant. It has on the one hand a very close affinity with
the montane stream vegetation, and on the other with that of
the wet alpine tundra. Not only does the snow linger late in
these high valleys, the water of the streams is also very cold.
In the list that follows the montane species are included as
well:
Poa platyphylla
P. alpina
Carex Goodenovii
Populus balsamifera
P. angustifolia
Salix caudata

I am almost wholly unacquainted with the remaining sub-
alpine formations, such as the lacustrine, palustrous, rupes-
trine, the subalpine summit and high ridge floras. I saw a
38 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES [186
little of these at Ward and on the high slopes'above Bloomer-
ville, and on Arapahoe Peak just below timberline, but I am
unable to give any clear account of the vegetation.*
F. ALPESTRES}+
Between 11,000 and 12,000 feet tree-growth ceases ab-
ruptly. The spruces and firs bend and hug the ground. The
willows branch and fork underground and rise to the height
of but a few inches. The precise altitude of the timberline
depends somewhat on the exposure, and differs, therefore,
from peak to peak, but 11,500 feet is, perhaps, on an average
the lower limit of the alpine zone. I am acquainted with this
zone only on Arapahoe Peak, where I spent one day, Septem-
ber first, and collected some 110 species, most of them above
timberline. The total number of species known to reach an
altitude of 12,000 feet, or above, in Colorado is 386.4
The alpine flora may be conveniently gathered into two
societies: a. The wet alpine tundra (Tundrales). b. The
dry rock-desert (Alpinae) of the summits.
a. Tundrales. The wet tundra occupies the region of
cold water-soaked soil. The water from the wasting snows
collects in depressions, streams are formed, and along these the

Ward, by Ramaley and Robbins (Univ. of Colo. Studies, 6, 133-168).
+Consult for the Alpine Flora Cooper’s Alpine vegetation in the vi-
cinity of Long’s Peak, Colorado (Bot. Gaz., 45, 319-337). He recog-
nizes three plant formations: 1. The dry meadow. 2. The wet mead-
ow. 3. The Krummbholtz. The latter, while striking enough, is rather
but the upper level of the spruce forest, striving to persist in Alpine con-
ditions.
{For a list of these see the article by Cockerell on the Alpine Flora
of Colorado (Am, Nat., 40, 86-873).
187] FLORA OF BOULDER, COLORADO 39
vegetation clings. Often the streams flow concealed under the
dwarf spruces and firs, their existence there being known
only by their roaring underneath. Parry’s primrose, saxi-
frages, globeflowers, white cowslips, gentians, red elephants,
several sedges, grasses, and rushes are examples of the wet
tundra vegetation. The Krummboltz of spruce and fir at the
timberline consists chiefly of Engelmann spruce, Picea Engel-
manm, and balsam fir, Abies lasiocarpa. The wet tundra con-
tinues down to the lower edge of the alpine zone, whence it de-
scends and coalesces with the subalpine stream vegetation.
The following are characteristic species:
Lycopodium annetinum
Picea Engelmanni
Abies lasiocarpa
Alopecurus occidentalis

b. Alpinae. The dry rock-desert lies mingled with or
above the wet tundra and extends to the summit, wherever there
is soil not covered with snow. The vegetation suffers from ex-
treme exposure, and grows close to the ground, seldom, unless
sheltered by rocks, rising more than an inch or two in height.
In sheltered places under rocks, even at this extreme altitude,
I found several beautiful clusters of the blue columbine, the
state flower of Colorado, with stems twelve to eighteen inches
high, and with blossoms two inches across. The wooly-headed
thistle, too, was found of the same height. But in general
the vegetation is much dwarfed. Next to the wet tundra the
Krummholtz of spruce and fir still persists, under which I
detected some fine specimens of club-moss; but farther up
there is no shrubby vegetation except the underground wil-
lows. The vegetation grows in little rounded tussocks, and
consists of the alpine catch-fly, rock-primrose scarcely half
an inch high, sibbaldia, dryas, alpine clovers, dwarf sedges,
grasses, and rushes, and, last of all, the little yellow saxi-
frages and the snowflowers, which are often blossoming at the
snow-line. Now and then on the high exposed ridges the
beautiful rydbergia rises five or six inches above the mountain
turf, its stems and leaves and large yellow flowers swathed
in dense wool. For what must be the tribulations of this

IV. SPECIAL CLASSES OF PLANTS
Independent of the five great zones of vegetation are two
special classes of plants: A. The saprophytic and parasi-
tic plants (SAPROPHYTICALES ET PARASITI-
CALES). B. The plants which largely owe their presence to
human agency (ANTHROPOPHYTICALES). These
consist of the various cultural plants, of weeds, and of es-
capes.
A. SAPROPHYTICALES ET PARASITICALES
Besides the saprophytic and parasitic fungi there are a
few phanerogams, which are destitute of chlorophyl and are
true saprophytes or parasites. The following are known to
occur in the region:
Corallorrhiza Corallorrhiza (saprophytic in rich soil)
C. multiflora (saprophytic in rich soil )
Razoumofskya Americana (parasitic on lodgepole pine)
R. cryptopoda (parasitic on bull pine)
Pterospora Andromedea (parasitic on the roots of bull
pine)
Cuscuta curta (parasitic on Iva xanthifolia and other
coarse herbs)
C. indecora (parasitic on Thermopsis pinetorum and other
legumes )
Thalesia fasciculata (parasitic on Artemisia frigida and
other Composites )
There are also a few root-parasites with green foliage,
notably Comandra pallida, Gerardia Besseyana, and the Cas-
tillejas.
B. ANTHROPOPHYTICALES
Only three kinds of anthropophytic plants need concern
us here: a. Forage plants (Faenales), which have become
44 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI STUDIES [192
thoroughly naturalized. b. Weeds (Ruderales). c. Cul-
tural and ornamental plants that have escaped (Fugitivae).
a. Faenales. Most of the common forage grasses and
clovers have become thoroughly established about Boulder.
I have noted the following:
Phleum pratense Festuca elatior
Agrostis alba Lolium Italicum
Dactylis glomerata Trifolium pratense
T. repens
T. hybridum
Medica sativa
Poa pratensis
P. compressa
P. trivialis
b. Ruderales. In the appended list of weeds only those
that have been introduced from elsewhere, or, if native, are
also common weeds in many parts of the United States, have
been included. However, many native species, such as the
various gum-weeds and spurges, must often be bad weeds in
cultivated grounds. But to do justice to the ruderal aspects
of the native flora would require much special study, such as
one is unable to make in the course of a few weeks, and es-
pecially one who is unfamiliar with agriculture as carried on
in Colorado. I noted the following weeds:
Syntherisma sanguinale B. secalinus
Panicum capillare
Echinochloa Crus-galli
Chaetochloa glauca
C. viridis
Cenchrus Carolinianus
Avena fatua
Eragrostis major
Poa annua

ascending, about 1 dm. long and 3 cm. wide, pinnate, the lower
pinnae narrowly falcate, entire, the others mainly ovate in
outline, deeply cut into 2- 7 cuneate lobes, but with occasional
little, simple pinnae interspersed with the larger ones; leaves
puberulent or glabrate, the margins softly ciliate with white
hairs ; rhachis about 3 mm. broad, the base of the petiole about
1 cm. broad, becoming chaffy and sheathing the stems; lower
half of stem leafless, the upper half bearing two leaves, 21%4- 3
cm. long, pinnately parted into about Io narrow lobes, the
lowermost broad, stipule-like, and sheathing the stem; pe-
duncles softly hairy, 3- 4 in number, subtended by leaves closely
resembling the two stem leaves, but smaller, the peduncles
themselves occasionally bearing 1 or 2 bracts, simple or 2-
5 pinnately incised; flowers 2-2'% cm. wide, bright yellow,
the petals broadly obovate, five in number; sepals and bract-
lets villous at base, 5 each, spreading, becoming erect in fruit
or the tips reflexed in age; sepals broadly triangular, about
twice as high as the narrower bractlets; stamens numerous;
styles included in fruit, glabrate; achenes softly villous with
white hairs. Foliage, stems, sepals and bractlets purple-tinged.
The plant differs from A. turbinata (Rydb.) Greene, in its
larger size, its softly hairy upper portion, its 3- 4 flowered
stems, its broader sepals, which are much longer than the

APPENDIX A.
Tidestrom in the Am. Midl. Nat. 2, 35, has described as a new
species this aspen under the name of P. aurea Tidestrom, with
the remark that it forms forests throughout Colorado, Utah, and
adjoining territory. But the differences relied upon to separate it
from Michaux’s species seem to me to be at most varietal, and
hence I prefer to call the Colorado tree P. tremuloides aurea (Tide-
strom) Daniels. See page 98.
