IV.—Pleochroic Halos

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

The subject of ‘pleochroic halos’ has become endowed with peculiar interest since Professor Joly suggested that they are due to the radio-activity of the inclusions round which they occur. On looking into such petrographical literature as I possess, it appears that very few precise observations have been made regarding these halos, and it has occurred to me, therefore, that some of my own notes on the subject may be of general interest.
