Abstract

THE visual illusion described by Mr. Turner in NATURE of October 7, p, 180, may be seen very well by looking steadfastly at a long luggage train as in for example, counting the trucks at about 100 yards distance. Immediately after the train has passed, the embankment appears to slide along in the opposite direction.
