Difficulties have previously been noted in the use of the D and H fiel
ds in the Maxwell boundary conditions when these are applied to theori
es of reflection effects involving chiral media. avoided by adopting c
ovariant forms of D and H. These are derived in the electric quadrupol
e-magnetic dipole approximation for a magnetic anisotropic chiral medi
um exposed to a plane monochromatic electromagnetic wave. (C) 1997 Opt
