Abstract
IN connection with the experiment on the spherical aberration of the eye, described in your issue of April 16, I may relate a striking observation I made some years ago. Regard with one eye any light or bright object on the wall, turn the head away until the object is just covered by the line of the nose; then move the eye to its natural position, and the object will reappear, supposing the nose is not too prominent. Moving the eye several times to and fro, the phenomenon will be easily observed.
