As may be seen from the titles, and as might be expected by those who knew Mr. Priest and Mr. Munsell, there was no narrow restriction regarding what might be carried on as Munsell supported investigations. Yet it may be seen that they all point to the development of needed information if the Munsell, or any other, color system were to be critically studied.

Among unpublished reports of Munsell-supported work at the Bureau of Standards are certain letters and reports made to the Munsell Laboratory, or to Mr. Munsell. The following three are the most important of these:

“Report on spectral reflectance of 70 representative colored cards from the Munsell color system,” Bur. Stand. Test No. 46045 (September 14, 1926).

“Derivation of the trilinear coordinates specifying the colors of constant saturation,” letter to Munsell Laboratory (April 13, 1927).

“Data on least perceptible purity, including Priest’s memorandum on ‘Relation between the Munsell chroma scale and the data of Priest and Brickwedde on least perceptible purity,” and notes by Judd on the memorandum, transmitted to Mr. Munsell, (May 9, 1927).

Although the work supported by the Munsell Laboratory at the Bureau of Standards covered a wide field, most of the work in the Baltimore laboratory was aimed more directly toward the collection, under controlled conditions, of sufficient data to enable the Munsell Research Laboratory to specify an improved series of papers to represent, even more adequately than the Atlas papers, a psychologically sound series of equally stepped scales of hue, value, and chroma.

Experiments regarding value were prolonged and three partial reports of this work were later published in this Journal. ,,.

Although many experiments were made regarding chroma and hue scales, there is no published material. But there are available, as a result of this work, certain valuable papers made for special experiments: 100 equally stepped hues painted to represent constant value and chroma (at 5/5), 50 hues at maximum chroma, a series of 60-value papers closely stepped from black to white, and certain chroma scales of very small steppings.

It may be of interest, and is important as a matter of record, to note that in addition to those already named as part of the Munsell staff, the following individuals have been employed at one time or another in the scientific work of the Munsell Research Laboratory.

In 1927 the investigative work came practically to a stop. Funds had been contributed up to that time, but the contributors felt that by this time some practical use should be made of the data. The research laboratory had obtained the data for a purpose: the company should now use it for this purpose. Therefore, a studied revision of the standard color papers was made, to follow essentially the newly derived scales—a

DECEMBER, 1940

Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts

N 1919, the Munsell Color System was subjected to a spectrophotometric examination by Priest, Gibson, and McNicholas, who determined the spectral reflection characteristics of fifteen chromatic standards and nine neutral standards of the system. These spectrophotometric data have now been integrated in accordance with the 1931 I.C.I. standard observer and Illuminant C. The resulting tristimulus values and trichromatic coefficients are listed in Table I.

I. Tristimulus specifications (X, Y, Z) and trichromatic coefficients (x, y) of 15 Munsell Atlas colors computed from spectrophotometric data (1919) on the basis of the I.C.I. standard observer and coordinate system and for I.C.I. Illuminant C.

The instructions given by Professor Munsell for making a pigment color-solid are so complete that the entire color system can be constructed, given any five chromatic colors of the system which are unrelated in the sense that no two have either the same hue or complementary hues. The definitions of hue, value, and chroma are unambiguously established by the operations involved in constructing the system by means of additive mixtures on a Maxwell disk. The hue, value, and chroma of such a mixture are related to those of the components of the mixture as follows:

Hue.—When a chromatic color is mixed additively with a neutral (white, gray, or black), the hue of the mixture is the same as that of the chromatic color.

Value.—When two colors whose values are $$V_a$$ and $$V_b$$; occupy relative areas a and b on a Maxwell disk, the value of the mixture is given by the equation $$V^2=aV_a^2+bV_b^2$$.

Chroma.—When two complementary colors occupy areas on a Maxwell disk which are inversely proportional to the product of value by chroma, a neutral gray results.

By comparison of these quantities with the corresponding quantities in psychophysical systems, it is evident that hue is synonymous with dominant wave-length, that value is the square root of luminous apparent reflectance, $$Y$$, expressed in percent, and that, for a given hue and value, chroma is proportional to colorimetric purity in psychophysical systems.

Tristimulus specifications (X,Y,Z) and trichromatic coefficients (x,y) of the five principal Munsell colors taken from Table I, each set of tristimulus specifications being multiplied by a factor to make Y=0.2500.

When tristimulus specifications have been assigned to five unrelated colors in the Munsell system, the calculation of the tristimulus specifications for all other colors in the system involves no more than a hypothetical repetition of the procedure employed originally by Professor Munsell. In other words, the disk mixtures of Professor Munsell can be made hypothetically by the I.C.I. observer under carefully standard

ized conditions. The procedure need not be included here, since it is discussed in detail by Gibson and Nickerson in the paper following this one.

If Priest, Gibson, and McNicholas had investigated only five chromatic colors instead of fifteen, there would have been no choice in the selection of data upon which to base these calculations. However, since an arbitrary choice of data must be made, it seemed appropriate to select the five principal colors R5/5, Y5/5, G5/5, B5/5, and P5/5. Use is also made of the rule that a mixture of the five principal colors in equal proportions yields N5/, which according to this definition is nearly but not quite the color of a nonselective surface.

Reference to will disclose the fact that the five principal colors are not precisely of value 5 as intended by Professor Munsell. Instead, Y varies from a minimum of 0.2140 to a maximum of 0.2662. In view of the difficulties this paper may call attention to the fact that the involved in heterochromatic photometry, which were more serious then than now, it seemed reasonable to multiply each set of tristimulus principal color accurately to value 5. This procedure does not alter the hue of the principal colors, and it makes only a trifling change in the chroma. After this adjustment, the basic data relative to the principal colors are as listed in.

The data in indicate what the Munsell Atlas of Color would have been if, starting with the five basic colors as defined in, the extension of the system had been entrusted to the standard I.C.I. observer working under Illuminant C. The first column indicates the Munsell designation. This is followed by three columns giving the corresponding tristimulus specifications. Columns 5 and 6 list the trichromatic coefficients, x and y.

Professor Munsell devoted much attention to speculations concerning the shape of the color solid that results from the representation of hue, value, and chroma in cylindrical coordinates. His speculations had, perforce, to be based on the color gamut obtainable with pigments that were then available, and he was obviously unable to predict what new pigments might result from chemical research. By application of the work of MacAdam on “The maximum visual efficiency of colored materials,” it is now possible to establish the limits of the Munsell color solid which newly discovered pigments may approach but will never exceed. This gamut is expressed most conveniently in terms of the maximum chroma corresponding to a given hue and value, as in Table IV.

Since the Munsell Book of Color, which appeared in 1929, was intended to supplant the original Atlas of the Munsell Color System, it is not immediately obvious that the publication of this paper serves, at this time, a useful purpose. We believe that its publication is justified on the ground that it calls belated attention to the remarkable scientific insight of Professor A. H. Munsell. At a time when there was little to suggest such a procedure, he formulated rules for the construction of a psychophysical color system that could be used today without apology. We believe also that the publication of this paper may call attention to the fact that the psychophysical definitions of the terms hue, value, and chroma given in the Atlas of the original Munsell Color System differ from the specifications by a factor that would bring each purely psychological definitions used since the death of Professor Munsell.

The writers are indebted to Mrs. Blanche Bellamy, Manager of the Munsell Color Company, Inc., Baltimore, Maryland, for the loan of Professor Munsell’s Diary; to Dr. Walter Scott for valuable suggestions; and to Mrs. Arthur Howland for permission to review correspondence between her late husband and Professor Munsell. Miss Dorothy Nickerson has extended most gracious assistance in connection with the calculations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the absence of the FNC, a need emerges for enacting a federal act, the Federal Council of Ministers may take the necessary action for promulgating it by the Supreme Council and the President of the UAE, provided that the FNC must be so notified at its next meeting.

An act is published in the Official Gazette of the UAE within a maximum of two weeks from the date it is signed and promulgated by the President of the UAE after it is sanctioned by the Supreme Council. An act is put into operation after one month from the date it is published in the Official Gazette unless another date is specified in the act itself.

An act applies only from the date it is put into operation and does not apply regressively. In non-criminal matters, an act may, when necessary, otherwise provides.

United Arab Emirates Constitution

If, while the Supreme Council is in recess, a state of urgency emerges which requires the enactment of a federal act, the President of the UAE together with the Council of Ministers may promulgate that act in the form of a decree law insofar as that act is not in conflict with the Constitution.

A decree law must be submitted within a maximum of a week to the Supreme Council for approval or disapproval. If the decree law is approved, it takes the force of a law and the Federal National Council is so notified at its next meeting.

If the Supreme Council disapproves the decree law, the decree law ceases to have the force of law unless the Supreme Council decides to sanction its application in the preceding period or settles in another way the effects resulting from its application.

For a decree to be promulgated, it must be approved by the Council of Ministers and sanctioned by the President of the UAE or the Supreme Council, as the case may be. A decree is published in the Official Gazette after it is signed by the President of the UAE.

United Arab Emirates Constitution

An Emirate exercises all the powers not conferred by the Constitution upon the UAE, participates in the UAE’s structure, and benefits from its existence, services and protection.

The regime in an Emirate seeks, in particular, to keep security and order in its territories, provide public utilities, and raise the social and economic standards in the Emirate.

All the member Emirates of the UAE shall seek to harmonize their legislation in the different fields to unify that legislation as far as possible.

Two or more Emirates may, subject to the approval of the Supreme Council, gather together in a political or administrative unit, or unify all or part of their public services, or establish a single or joint administration to run any such service.

A federal law regulates the matters pertaining to the execution of judgments, judicial delegation, serving legal documents, and the extradition of criminals from an Emirate of the UAE to another, for the purpose of facilitating these matters.

By way of exception from Article 120, paragraph (1), which provides that the UAE has exclusive jurisdiction in the matters of foreign policy and international relations, a member Emirate of the UAE may conclude limited conventions of a local and administrative nature with the neighboring countries provided that such conventions must not be in conflict with the interests of the UAE or the federal laws and that the Federal Supreme Council be so notified in advance. If the Supreme Council objects to the conclusion of these conventions, the matter must be put on hold until the Federal Court decides as quickly as possible on that objection.

An Emirate may retain its membership in, or join, the OPEC organization and the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries.

Before the conclusion of any international treaty or convention, which may affect the status of an Emirate, the competent federal authorities shall consult with that Emirate in advance. In case of disagreement, the matter is submitted to the Federal Supreme Court to rule on such dispute.

 the lamentations of Pan for the death of Syrinx. In Proserpine (iii.) he uses a third bass flute pitched a fifth below the others; in his Triomphe d' Amour (? 1681) we have a quartett of flutes; whilst in his Psyche (1674) we find no less than six flutes, two firsts, two seconds, and two bass. Some of these parts, however, were probably written for flutes-à-bec. Lulli invariably uses the flute to express pathos, sadness, and melancholy, an example which has been largely followed.

J. S. Bach, living under Frederick the Great, naturally paid considerable attention to the favourite instrument of that monarch. The treatment of the flute by Bach and Handel is particularly interesting, owing to the fact that they lived at the period when the flute-à-bec was being gradually superseded by the transverse flute. They each make use of both kinds. Bach uses the flutes much more freely than Handel, and gives them much more difficult passages—many indeed require very considerable executive skill on the part of the performer. He frequently employs the entire compass of the transverse flute of that day, which Handel hardly ever does.

Many of Bach's cantatas have parts for one or two flutes. In these works we find almost every possible combination of the flute with the other instruments used, with one noticeable exception—viz., flute and bassoon, a combination very usual in Handel and Haydn. In the earlier works Bach uses the flute-à-bec. He hardly ever uses both it and the transverse flute in the same work, and never in the same piece. The

Rh life. He remembers that Christ was very celebrated, long before he came to Jerusalem; he knows that his fame was so great that crowds followed him all the time; he is aware that his entry into the city produced a stirring sensation, and that his reception was a kind of ovation; he can not overlook the fact that when he was crucified there were very many in Jerusalem who believed that he was the true Son of God. To publicly execute such a personage was sufficient in itself to make the locality of the execution a memorable place for ages; added to this, the storm, the darkness, the earthquake, the rending of the vail of the Temple, and the untimely waking of the dead, were events calculated to fix the execution and the scene of it in the memory of even the most thoughtless witness. Fathers would tell their sons about the strange affair, and point out the spot; the sons would transmit the story to their children, and thus a period of three hundred years would easily be spanned —at which time Helena came and built a church upon Calvary to commemorate the death and burial of the Lord and preserve the sacred place in the memories of men; since that time there has always been a church there. It is not possible that there can be any mistake about the locality of the Crucifixion. Not half a dozen persons knew where they buried the Saviour, perhaps, and a burial is not a startling event, any how; therefore, we can be pardoned for unbelief in the Sepulchre, but not in the place of the Crucifixion. Five hundred years hence there will be no vestige of Bunker Hill Monument left, but America will still know where the battle was fought and where Warren fell. The crucifixion of Christ was too notable an event in Jerusalem, and the Hill of Calvary made too celebrated by it, to be forgotten in the short space of three hundred years. I climbed the stairway in the church which brings one to the top of the small inclosed pinnacle of rock, and looked upon the place where the true cross once stood, with a far more absorbing interest than I had ever felt in any thing earthly before. I could not believe that the

572 three holes in the top of the rock were the actual ones the crosses stood in, but I felt satisfied that those crosses had stood so near the place now occupied by them, that the few feet of possible difference were a matter of no consequence.

When one stands where the Saviour was crucified, he finds it all he can do to keep it strictly before his mind that Christ was not crucified in a Catholic Church. He must remind himself every now and then that the great event transpired in the open air, and not in a gloomy, candle-lighted cell in a little corner of a vast church, up-stairs—a small cell all bejeweled and bespangled with flashy ornamentation, in execrable taste.

Under a marble altar like a table, is a circular hole in the marble floor, corresponding with the one just under it in which the true cross stood. The first thing every one does is to kneel down and take a candle and examine this hole. He does this strange prospecting with an amount of gravity that can never be estimated or appreciated by a man who has not seen the operation. Then he holds his candle before a richly engraved picture of the Saviour, done on a massy slab of gold, and wonderfully rayed and starred with diamonds, which hangs above the hole within the altar, and his solemnity changes to lively admiration. He rises and faces the finely wrought figures of the Saviour and the malefactors uplifted upon their crosses behind the altar, and bright with a metallic lustre of many colors. He turns next to the figures close to them of the Virgin and Mary Magdalen; next to the rift in the living rock made by the earthquake at the time of the Crucifixion, and an extension of which he had seen before in the wall of one of the grottoes below; he looks next at the show-case with a figure of the Virgin in it, and is amazed at the princely fortune in precious gems and jewelry that hangs so thickly about the form as to hide it like a garment almost. All about the apartment the gaudy trappings of the Greek Church offend the eye and keep the mind on the rack to remember that this is the Place of the Crucifixion—Golgotha—the Mount of Calvary. And the last thing he looks at is that which was also the first—the place where the true cross stood. That will chain him to the spot and

Rh compel him to look once more, and once again, after he has satisfied all curiosity and lost all interest concerning the other matters pertaining to the locality.

And so I close my chapter on the Church of the Holy Sepulchre—the most sacred locality on earth to millions and millions of men, and women, and children, the noble and the humble, bond and free. In its history from the first, and in its tremendous associations, it is the most illustrious edifice in Christendom. With all its clap-trap side-shows and unseemly impostures of every kind, it is still grand, reverend, venerable—for a god died there; for fifteen hundred years its shrines have been wet with the tears of pilgrims from the earth’s remotest confines; for more than two hundred, the most gallant knights that ever wielded sword wasted their lives away in a struggle to seize it and hold it sacred from infidel pollution. Even in our own day a war, that cost millions of treasure and rivers of blood, was fought because two rival nations claimed the sole right to put a new dome upon it. History is full of this old Church of the Holy Sepulchre—full of blood that was shed because of the respect and the veneration in which men held the last resting-place of the meek and lowly, the mild and gentle, Prince of Peace!

E were standing in a narrow street, by the Tower of Antonio. “On these stones that are crumbling away,” the guide said, “the Saviour sat and rested before taking up the cross. This is the beginning of the Sorrowful Way, or the Way of Grief.” The party took note of the sacred spot, and moved on. We passed under the “Ecce Homo Arch,” and saw the very window from which Pilate’s wife warned her husband to have nothing to do with the persecution of the Just Man. This window is in an excellent state of preservation, considering its great age. They showed us where Jesus rested the second time, and where the mob refused to give him up, and said, “Let his blood be upon our heads, and upon our children’s children forever.” The French Catholics are building a church on this spot, and with their usual veneration for historical relics, are incorporating into the new such scraps of ancient walls as they have found there. Further on, we saw the spot where the fainting Saviour fell under the weight of his cross. A great granite column of some ancient temple lay there at the time, and the heavy cross struck it such a blow that it broke in two in the middle. Such was the guide’s story when he halted us before the broken column.

We crossed a street, and came presently to the former residence of St. Veronica. When the Saviour passed there, she came out, full of womanly compassion, and spoke pitying words to him, undaunted by the hootings and the threatenings of the mob, and wiped the perspiration from his face with her handkerchief.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the sessions of the Federal National Council may not be suspended during that period nor may the immunity of its members be lifted.

The martial law is lifted by a decree sanctioned by the Supreme Council when the emergency, for which it was imposed, no longer exists.
