No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1968–69 to 1981–82; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
A continuation of 261. Increment thresholds and Stiles mechanisms. The laws of colour mixture. Chromaticity diagrams. Colour matching and colour discrimination. Characteristics of normals and colour defectives. The design of visual colorimeters, anomaloscopes and of colour vision screening tests. Congenital and acquired defects of colour vision.
As printed in the 1978–79 to 1981–82 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
