Form To test the animals' responses to forms, black cards, cut as previous cards, were used in the regular card-holders of the appar- atus. The cards bore two-dimensional forms above the openings through which a chick had to pass on its way out of the appar- 54 FREDERICK S. BREED atus. That is, forms were cut out of white paper and pasted midway between the two sides and a little below the top of the card. The chicks were first tested with a square and a triangle of equal area. The triangle had... a base of 8.13 cm. and an altitude of 6.35 cm. The square was 5.08 x 5.08 cm. No. 11, a chick that had succeeded in acquiring the black-white habit to the point of making one error in the last twenty trials, reacted in the square-triangle test as shown in table 14.
