Abstract
I READ Dr. A. Loewenstein's letter1 at the time of publication, and some of my colleagues and I repeated his experiment and, on the whole, confirmed his observations. Prof. H. Hartridge2, however, appears to have experienced “An Illusion of Size” much greater than we could observe. I am quite at a loss to see how Prof. Hartridge obtained the measurements he quotes.
