The interference phenomena are, there-fore, the same as for such an air-plate. The theory of these interference-bands has been given inan article entitled Interference Phenomena in a new formof Refractometer, Philosophical Magazine for April is there shown, the projections of the bands are, in general,conic sections, the position of maximum distinctness beinggiven by the formula
