The following paper deals with the question of visual intensity (brightness) along lines similar to those in the previous paper upon auditory sensations. It may be noted at once that whenever the physicist has to depend on the direct quantitative estimates of sensation instead of the indications of some instrument such as a galvanometer, he tries to avoid the problem by reducing the
