Extract

The author was led, in prosecution of his researches on the absorptive action of transparent media of light, which have been partly communicated in previous papers to the Society, to examine the influence of coloured gaseous bodies. Iodine vapour was one of these, and its action was found of a similar character to that of fluids having a similar tint. Nitrous acid gas presented a far more extraordinary phenomenon.
