Abstract
IN NATURE of May 30, Mr. E. Burke points out that “If an open book is illuminated fairly strongly from one side, for example, from over one shoulder, the general colour of the white paper is different for the two eyes when one or the other is closed”. Dr. V. G. W. Harrison, commenting on this letter, regards this phenomenon as “due to selective specular reflexion from the paper”.
