Summary

A formula is derived for the transmission coefficient of a Christiansen cell containing particles of a birefringent material whose interstices are filled up by a liquid of suitably adjusted refractive index. The consequences of the formula and especially the influence of the birefringence on the spectral character of the transmitted light are discussed.
