Abstract
IN a recent communication to the Royal Society,1 I described a series of optical experiments which originated in an attempt to account for the colour phenomena exhibited by Mr. C. E. Benham's “Artificial Spectrum Top” (NATURE, vol. li. p. 113). The chief of these experiments are of an exceedingly simple character, and can easily be repeated without the employment of any special apparatus. They demonstrate the formation, under certain conditions, of transient bands of colour along the boundaries between light and dark surfaces.
