Abstract

IN answer to Prof. Lodge's query (May 29, p. 100), why those concerned in testing for colour-vision do not avail themselves of instruments like Lord Rayleigh's, having tested some thousands in this city, I may state that experience has shown that they are not suited for testing uneducated persons.
