son holds 800d in all Torts oF rays, and theretore al
Corts must 80 out promiscuoussy to that Spot, und by

ot the Ats oF thole rars wrhich are rellected more ob-

than betore by the 15th and 20th Prop. And thence
it may happen that the rars at their return to the first

becaule the interrals of the tts at equal obliguities are
sreater and ferver in the less retransible rays, and lels
and more numerous in the more retransible, theretore
the lels retransible at equa l obliquities all make terver
Rings than the more retransible, and the Rings made
by thole Mall be larger than the like number of Rings
madeby theso; that is, the red Rinss MaII be larger
than the rellor, the vellor than che green, the green
