Extract

In a recent note in this Magazine, Dr. R. B. Elliott points out that inclined contacts of grains of considerably different index may bias the result of a micrometric analysis. That there may be some bias of this sort is hardly to be doubted, though I am inclined to feel that he greatly overestimates its importance. His demonstration, however, involves a fallacy so long and widely held as to be worth refuting.
