Abstract
THE object of this book is to give a concise survey of the present state of our knowledge concerning the exact determination of standard wave-lengths. The author first gives a short general description of early measurements, together with Rowland's normal system, and refers to the necessity for its revision. He then deals with the more recent methods of determination, briefly referring to Millikan's work, and considering in detail the measurements of Benoit, Fabry and Perot. Succeeding chapters discuss the establishment of international standard wave-lengths, and many tables of standard lines in the visible region are given, attention being paid to the results of individual workers in order to indicate the accuracy of the standard data.
