ONCHI states that test tones for hearing tests should be arranged so efficiently, within the range of speech frequency, that any heari-ng loss can be detected in this range. Therefo-re, the test tones which are arranged in octave scale of physical pitch, hitherto in use, may be unsuitable for this purpose because they are distributed more densely in low frequency ran-ge which has no relation to intelligibility of speech. From this viewpoint he offers a series of test tones which might be more suitable for the purpose as follows: 125, 250, 500, 800, 1000, 1,500, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 6,000, 8,000, and 10,000 c.p.s.. Of these tones 800 c.p.s. has not been provided in any audiometer of discrete frequency. However, this particular tone is co-nsidered by the author as one of the important bone conduction tones in Onchi's Test i.e., a s-pecial bone conduction test which is carried out with the external auditory canal being blo-cked by means of a plastic plug, a test for m-aking differential diagnosis between conduction and nerve deafness.

Furthermore, the author contributes a newly designed audiogram in which the frequency d-istribution is constructed in proportion with th-at of the basilar membrane of the cochlea. Consequently, any test tones in the physical pitch or those that might be arbitrarily sele-cted can be plotted on this audiogram.
