Abstract
VI.
MENTION was made in the previous article of the bands produced in the spectra of polarised light. Beside the fact of the existence of these bands it has been found upon examination that the state of polarisation at different parts of the interval between two successive bands varies; and such an examination may be made by means of a quarter-undulation plate or a Fresnel's rhomb.
