                   The item listed in Muensterberg’s list  as Nr. 89
                   [corr: 86], the “Apparatus for the  Appreciation
                   of Colors”   (Img 30174) is a different instrument
                   from Holmgren’s Worsteds (IMG 30041) although it
                   is based on the same idea.  This IMG 30174  was
                   devised by Galton and manufactured by The
                   Cambridge Scientific Instrument Co.  and others.
                   This instrument is described in part as follows:
                   The ordinary test with coloured wools is employed.
                   The samples of wool are wound on  black wooden
                   reels and enclosed in a glass tube in order to
                   keep them free from dust.  The person to be tested
                   is required to place pegs in holes opposite the
                   four shades of  green,..... etc. . “The
