In a previous paper we showed how the luminosity of different spectrum colours might he measured, and in the present paper we give a method of measuring the light of the spectrum reflected from coloured bodies such as pigments in terms of the light of the spectrum reflected from a white surface. To effect this the first named of us devised a modification of our previous apparatus.
