Abstract
IN continuation of the experiments of Mr. W. L. Bragg (NATURE, December 12, 1912, p. 410), we have investigated the reflection of X-rays by mica and rock salt. In these experiments we found that in general two dark spots are obtained in consequence of the reflection, one of which is crossed by equally-spaced lines, which run at right angles to the plane of reflection. The distance between the different lines increased with increasing distance of the photographic plate from the crystal, and appeared greater with rock-salt than with mica. In some photographs the second spot was also striated.
