Abstract
DR. BROMWICH has collected sixty questions in optics for use in class-room at St. John's College, Cambridge, and has given references to eighty-four-Tripos questions set between 1910 and 1921. The examples printed in the pamphlet cover a fairly wide range, and have evidently been selected by an experienced teacher. In many cases the questions have a direct practical application, or point towards a method of making some important optical measurement. Special attention may be directed to the examples connected with the cardinal points of a system of lenses or refracting surfaces, which should prove a useful supplement to practical work in the laboratory.
