Abstract
(1) THE name of the author of this volume of the comprehensive “Hahdbuch der Experimental Physik” is sufficient guarantee of the excellence of the treatment. Dr. König succeeded Prof. Pulfrich, the author originally appointed, whose work was so unfortunately cut short, when he had framed only a few fragments. These are an introductory chapter on the sense of vision and the other senses, with sections on the motions of the eye, its protective arrangements, the field of vision, and Fechner's law.
