Abstract
MANY of the strongest lines in the spectrum of the gaseous nebulæ have been explained (NATURE, 120, p. 473; 1927. Astrophys. J., 57, p. 1; 1928) as forbidden transitions from low metastable states in oxygen and nitrogen. The analysis of the S II spectrum by Ingram (Phys. Rev., 32, p. 172; 1928), combined with the intercombination lines recently classified by L. and E. Bloch (C. R., 188, p. 160; 1929), makes possible the prediction of the position of lines due to similar jumps in singly ionised sulphur as follows:
