57. Velocity of light when a continuously polarised medium drifts through stationary ether
58. Determination of the velocity with which the ether must be dragged by a continuously polarised medium, in order that Fresnel's coefficient may be obtained
59. The direction and velocity of ray-propagation under the above conditions
60. Reflection and refraction
