Abstract
THIS is a useful summary of the very numerous observations which have been made on the colour phenomena produced in minerals by the neighbourhood of radio-active bodies. Although the facility with which experiments can be made with radium;(at least by the fortunate possessor of an adequate specimen of that substance) have given a special prominence to observation made with it, it is well known that analogous colorations are produced by kathode and Röntgen rays, and by ultra-violet light. These subjects are included in the book, which contains a full bibliography.
