There was, as already mentioned, an entire defect of the muscular sense also, so that when her eyes were shut she did not know the position of her limbs.

Nevertheless it was remarked as an anomaly that when she was thrown into a cataleptic state, not only did the movements impressed upon her continue to be made, but the corresponding or complimentary movements, the corresponding facial expression, followed just as they usually follow in such experiments.
Thus, if M.Janet clenched her fist in the cataleptic state, her arm began to deal blows, and her face assumed a look of anger.

The suggestion which was given through the so-called muscular sense had operated in a subject to whom the muscular sense, as tested in other ways, seemed to be wholly lacking.

As soon as Adrienne could be communicated with, it was possible to get somewhat nearer to a solution of this puzzle.

Lucie was thrown into catalepsy; then M.Janet clenched her left hand (she began at once to strike out), put a pencil in her right, and said, "Adrienne, what are you doing ?" The left hand continued to strike, and the face to bear the look of rage, while the right hand wrote, "I am furious." "With whom ?" "With F." "Why ?" "I don't know, but I am very angry." M.Janet then unclenched the subject's left hand, and put it gently to her lips.
