36 LIGHT AND WATER appearing at $, as far below the level of the water, O, as P is above it. Beyond X, at A, B, C, and D, P is seen by reflexion on the ear sides 7 of the waves’ and the image is /ifted above J, appearing at a, ő, c, and d, respectively; whilst at all points nearer than X, as E, F, G, etc., it is seen by SSE reflexion on the farther sides of the === waves, and the image is /owered to e, es J, g,ete. These points a, 4, c, d, A, e, —=-== J 2 etc., all lie in the vertical plane aes containing P and QO (ze. the plane of — ——— the paper) and when viewed from O —--— I _ will therefore all appear to lie in the == vertical line through P.
