The scattering of linearly polarized light in reflection nebulae is investigatcd. 'lhe distortion of the centrosymmetric pattern of the polarization vectors is calculated; i t is found that linear polarization of the illuminating source in an optically thin nebula leads to an "elliptical" pattern. I
The origin of the noncircular pattern of the polarization vectors in the halo of scattered light around M82 is discussed anew. This patterp had been interpreted by SOLINGER and MARKERT (1975) to indicate a high contribution of the disk to the illumination of the halo, whereas the blue colour of the
