Scientific paper

The author presents a minor correction to the internal solution of Bourassa & Kantowski. This leads to a simple proof of the fact that if the projected density has elliptical symmetry, then there is no contribution to the bending angle due to mass lying outside the ellipse formed by the impact parameter. Diagrams are also presented which show the multi-imaging aspect of the gravitational lens effect as a function of the position of the source with respect to the lens.
