-ered, but for the present it will be sufficient to say that it can be divided into three parts.
First, there is a narrow transparent portion appearing as a dark space, which is very often obliterated by the second portion of the Aura. When visible it looks like a dark band, not exceeding a quarter of an inch, surrounding and adjacent to the body, without any alteration in size at any part. This will be called the Etheric Double.
The second constituent is the Inner Aura. It is the densest portion and varies comparatively little, or even not at all, in width, either at the back, front, or sides, and both in the male and the female follows the contour of the body. It arises just outside the Etheric Double, but very frequently it looks as if it touched the body itself.
The third portion, or the Outer Aura, commences at the outer edge of the Inner Aura, and is very variable in size. It is the extreme outer margin of this that has been taken for depicting the outline of the Aura hitherto. When the whole Aura is observed through a light spectauranine screen, or a pale blue one, all the portions appear blended together, but the part nearest the body is the most dense. If, however, a carmine screen be employed, each of the factors will be distinguished; or, should this screen be a fairly dark one, the Outer Aura will be eliminated altogether.
The following descriptions of the Auras are from a selection of persons in good health, varying in age from early infancy and upwards, and are typical. They are arranged according to age — first males, and then females.
CASE 1. — A., a fine, healthy infant, fifteen hours old, was inspected whilst lying on its mother's bed upon a black cloth. Although seen under very unfavourable circumstances, his Aura was plainly visible, and in colour was grey, tinged with yellow. As far as could be seen it followed the outline of the body. This is the youngest child whose Aura we have examined, and it may be interesting to note that both the mother and the nurse were able to see the cloud around him, if they looked through the screen.
When he had arrived at the age of four months, he was inspected again under more suitable conditions, being then placed on a sofa, with a black cloth under him. His Aura took the same outline as the body, being a little over an inch wide, with the exception of the part round the head, which was broader. The colour had changed to dark blue grey.
CASE 2. — B., when a healthy male infant of four months old, was examined while lying on a black cloth similar to the background behind him; his Aura could be easily detected, being of a bluish grey colour. The Outer Aura was seen about an inch wide around his body and limbs, but by the sides of the head it was a little broader than the width of the shoulders.
When examined through a dark carmine screen, the Inner Aura was quite distinct, about three-quarters of an inch wide, showing well-marked striation.
CASE 3 (Figs. 1 and 2). — C., a strong and healthy lad, five years old, who had never had any serious illness. While he stood facing the observer, his Outer Aura appeared to be about six inches round the head. It came down by the side of the trunk about three and a quarter inches, and was a little narrower by the lower part of the thighs and the legs. The Inner Aura could be plainly distinguished, being nearly two inches wide by the side of the head and trunk, and about one and a quarter by the legs. When he turned sideways, the Outer Aura was found to be about two inches wide in front, and the Inner about a quarter of an inch less.
Both these measurements were slightly diminished lower down. At the back the Outer Aura was two and a half inches wide by the trunk, but not quite so wide by the lower limbs. Here, too, the Inner was about a quarter of an inch less than the Outer Aura. The colour was a blue grey. It is worthy of notice that in children, especially among males, the Inner Aura is almost as wide as the Outer; and often the two can only be differentiated with difficulty.
CASE 4. — D., a youth, fourteen years old. He is rather tall for his age, and has enjoyed good health all his life. His Aura was well marked, and a bluish grey. As he stood facing the observer, the Outer Aura was seven inches round his head, by the side of his trunk four inches, and lower down three and a half inches. The Inner Aura was two inches wide all over the body.
The Etheric Double was visible, being one-eighth of an inch wide. When he stood sideways, the Outer Aura was about three inches wide by his shoulders and nates, consequently for a male was rather wide at the small of the back. In front the Aura was three inches wide down the whole length.
CASE 5 (Figs. 3 and 4). — E., a very powerful man, thirty-three years of age. He was well proportioned in every respect, and in robust health. His Aura was blue with a little grey. The Outer Aura surrounded his head a little wider than the breadth of his shoulders; all down his trunk, arms, and legs it was five inches wide. The Inner Aura was extremely well marked, about three inches wide. Striation was remarkably easy to see. As he stood sideways, the Inner Aura was the same width both front and back, but the Outer was a trifle narrower in front. The Etheric Double was clearly defined, being nearly a quarter of an
