Abstract
THE way in which the extraordinary ray transmitted by a calcite crystal infringes the laws of simple refraction is, of course, a commonplace and is mentioned in all text-books that deal with polarization. On the other hand, I have not yet found an explicit reference to the infringement of the law of the equality of the angles of incidence and reflexion.
