264 titles are reviewed rather fully and critically under these heads: historical; methodology––circuits, galvanometers, electrodes; physical nature of the phenomena; physical factors influencing these phenomena; underlying anatomical factors; physiological nature of the response––general condition of the body, physiological processes changing the responses; psychological significance; applications––clinical, individual differences, association, conditioning, comparison with other psychological measurements; miscellaneous––hypnosis, the response in children, in animals. "The reviewer is convinced that there is really no adequate evidence that these electrical phenomena of the skin are of necessity associated with any psychological event."
