The quasielastic scattering of the exotic halo'' nucleus {sup 11}Li on {sup 12}C has been studied at an energy of 60 MeV/nucleon and compared with that of the {ital A}=11 isobar {sup 11}C. The prediction of enhanced refraction in the former system is confirmed, as is the need for very long-range absorption. No evidence is found for an Airy minimum in the far-side scattering.
