Abstract
IN NATURE for October 16 I drew attention, to the relation which exists between the refractivities of the inert gases of tire atmosphere and that of hydrogen. Further comparison with the values obtained for other elements shows that the occurrence of simple ratios between the refractivities of allied elements is so frequent as to reduce greatly the possibility that they may be due to chance.
