Abstract
IN your report of the meeting of the Physical Society on February 26 (NATURE, p. 454), I notice an account of the exhibition, by Prof. T. C. Porter, of a somewhat complicated apparatus for exhibiting lantern slides in stereoscopic relief. An equally elaborate arrangement, depending on the use of polarised light, was exhibited at the British Association at Nottingham in 1893. It may possibly, therefore, be of interest to call attention to the much simpler means of accomplishing the same result, which suggested itself to me some time ago, but I subsequently found that it had been invented previously by Lieut.-Colonel Moëssard under the name of monocular stereoscope (Cosmos, May 23, 1896).
