Abstract
April 6, 1664. Dr. Charleton remarked, that there were some knowing persons, who would maintain, that images are erected in the retina; and that, notwithstanding the diversity of mediums in the eye, there was made but one single refraction. It being urged by him, that those persons offered to prove their assertions by experiments, he undertook to engage them to do so.—A letter of Col. Long to Sir Robert Moray was read, acknowledging his philosophical debts to the society, and giving account of elms becoming great trees from chips having some bark upon them; as also from boughs chopt on each side, and put into a nursery of good ground, laying them along in trenches. This was ordered to be communicated to Mr. Evelyn.
