534 Dr. Herschel's Experiments on the solar, and 



It will be found, that this table contains the scattering of 

 more objects than have been referred to in the preceding paper ; 

 but, as I made these experiments in a certain order, I thought 

 it would be acceptable to give the table at full length. 



The first column gives the names of the objects ; and the 

 second contains the number of rays of light scattered by them, 

 when compared to a standard of white paper, which is sup- 

 posed to scatter one thousand. 



Table VIII. 



White paper scatters - - 1000 rays of light.
