Abstract
THE whole subject of colour vision is admittedly very difficult, as the knowledge of it involves familiarity with the experimental results of a physical as well as of a physiological laboratory, with the minute anatomy of the retina, and with the latest results of psychological research. Hitherto, all that is known, and the various suppositions that have been made about the subject, could only be learnt by a prolonged search through innumerable scattered papers on physics, physiology, medicine, and psychology in various languages, chiefly English and German; so that it is with most cordial thanks to the author that this résumé of the subject in its present state is welcomed.
