li CONTENTS. PAGE he Colours of Thick Plates........1^5 SECTION I. Eings thrown on a Screen hy a Concave Mirror consisting of a lens dimmed at the iirst surface, and quicksilvered at the hack. Condition of distinctness when the Eings are thrown on a Screen, or of fixity when they are viewed in Air. Investigation of the phenomena observed when the Luminous Point is moved in a direction perpendicular to the Axis of the Mirror . . 160 SECTION II. Bands formed by a Plane Mirror, and viewed directly by the Eye..........170 SECTION III. Bings formed by a Curved Mirror, and viewed directly hy the Bye, when the Luminous Point and its Image are not in the same plane perpendicular to the axis ..... 178 SECTION IV. Straight bands formed by a Plane Mirror at a considerable angle of incidence, and viewed by the Eye, either directly, or through a Telescope.........184 SECTION V.
