Description

Jago's mode of proceeding in this paper is to inquire whether visual deviations that may be observed in arbitrary, but methodically devised, displacements of the eyeball in its socket follow any law, and then to consider how far the results thus derived are conformable with other monocular and binocular experiences, and how far they may be available in the explanation of certain phenomena that have been deemed anomalous in physiological optics.
