Extract

The author's object in undertaking these experiments, was to discover if the achromatism of the eye could be accounted for by the differences in the dispersive ratios of the fluids forming that organ.

The indices for several of the fixed lines were determined in the aqueous humour; with the crystalline no satisfactory result could be obtained.
