Behnke admitted that all five registers might be heard, especially in contraltos, but he did not attach equal importance to each of these registers. Mackenzie the author conceives to have been misled by the very method that he considered a special virtue in his investigations the examination of trained singers.

The attention of the great majority of vocalists was at once drawn to the subject, and the actions of the vocal cords in the different registers were studied by many prominent physicians and voice specialists. Exhaustive treatises on the registers have since been published by Mme. Seiler, Behnke, Curwen, Mills, Battaille, Curtis, Holmes, and by a large number of other investigators.

Behnke, a teacher of singing, who practised laryngoscopy and auto-laryngoscopy in the investigation of the registers, used "lower thick," "upper thick," "lower thin," "upper thin," and "small," as answering to the "first chest," "second chest," etc., of Madame Seiler and others. Nearly all writers have used the term "break" to indicate the point at which a new register begins.
