Abstract
ACCORDING to the Bohr theory, we should expect that the Stark effect would be strong in the fundamental (Bergman) series. So far as I am aware, the experimental evidence has not been brought forward, as the lines belonging to this series usually appear in the infra-red region. In a paper published by Saunders (Astrophys. Jour., 52, p. 265, 1920) a certain number of calcium lines in the visible and ultra-violet region are ascribed to the fundamental series.
