Abstract
THE last general report on Optics which was laid before the Association was read at Dublin by the late Dr. Lloyd in the year 1834, fifty-one years ago. Since then, in 1862, Prof. Stokes dealt very completely with double refraction so far as the elastic-solid theory is concerned, and there is little to add to what he said then. In all branches of his subject the fifty-one years since Dr. Lloyd's report have been most fruitful, and in consequence the mass of papers to be dealt with has been very large.
