F and L' show the percentage elimination, respectively, of all entrances to blind alleys 2 and 3, and 5 and 6 combined, by twenty-two rats in the A-mazes. Do pure probability laws govern the returns of the rat on emergence from blind alleys? In the tables of results (tables I and II) the totals of the first two trials have been kept separate so that the percentage of returns from blind alleys toward the starting place in the maze could be found for a period little.
