Abstract
THERE is a point in connection with the ordinary expositions of Fresnel's theory of double refraction to which, on account of its frequent occurrence, it is perhaps worth while to direct attention. It is found in Aldis's “Tract on Double Refraction,” p. 7, in Preston's “Theory of Light,” third edition, p. 328, and in Basset's “Treatise on Physical Optics,” p. 115.
