Abstract
REFERRING to the experiments mentioned by the present writer in recent issues of NATURE (January 30, p. 153; March 27, p. 448), and other work not yet published, we have had on several films and on one plate lines of wave-lengths 1.040 and 1.0381 respectively. It seemed impossible to regard these lines as being due to mercury, since either the HgLα1 or the HgLβ1 line has not been present. The films and plate represented good photography, and the exposures were over a wide range, so that these lines fell about midway.
