Abstract
IN reply to Sir Oliver Lodge (NATURE, January 12, p. 50), I have made numerous experiments extending over years on the simple and compound yellow. The results are given in a paper on the simple character of the yellow sensation, Journal of Physiology, 1915, page 265. The identity of the compound yellow made with spectral red and green with the simple yellow from a physiological aspect is very remarkable. I have tried without success to distinguish physiologically between the two by means of colour fatigue, colour adaptation or after-images produced by pure spectral colours, but the effect on the compound colour is in every respect the same as that upon the simple colour.
