ionone, vanillin).
IV. The ambrosiacal odors (ambergris and musk). V. The alliaceous odors, with the cacodylic group (asafoetida, ichthyol, etc.). VI. Empyreumatic odors. VII. Valerianaceous odors (Linnæus's _Odores hircini_, the capryl group, largely composed of sexual odors). VIII. Narcotic odors (Linnæus's _Odores tetri_). IX. Stenches. A valuable and interesting memoir, "Revue Générale sur les Sensations Olfactives," by J. Passy, the chief French authority on this subject, will be found in the second volume of _L'Année Psychologique_, 1895. In the fifth issue of the same year-book (for 1898) Zwaardemaker presents a full summary of his work and views, "Les Sensations Olfactives, leurs Combinaisons et leurs Compensations." A convenient, but less authoritative, summary of the facts of normal and pathological olfaction will be found in a little volume of the "Actualités Médicales" series by Dr. Collet, _L'Odorat et ses Troubles_, 1904. In a little book entitled _Wegweiser zu einer Psychologie des Geruches_ (1894) Giessler has sought to outline a psychology of smell, but his sketch can only be regarded as tentative and provisional. |
