Abstract
THE investigations on the molecular scattering of light now in progress under the writer's direction (regarding which previous communications have been published in NATURE) have brought to light some very remarkable cases in which the observed facts are in sharp contradiction with the theories of light-scattering based upon Maxwell's electromagnetic equations. According to the Einstein-Smoluchowski formula for the scattering power of a fluid, viz.
