A brief account is given of some selected experiments in which both good conditions prevailed and good scores resulted, along with a full account of conditions maintained and a report of controls and safeguards used. The selections made were chosen to meet the various possible questions or alternative hypotheses that have to be considered: for the clairvoyance tests, the question of sensory cues on the cards used, or of poor shuffling; for the telepathy work, the question of similar habits of order of selection made by the agent and the percipient in choosing and calling the symbols used; and, finally, for both clairvoyant and telepathic perception tests, the question whether chance alone can explain the results obtained.
