Abstract
WHILE we were attempting to photograph the spectrum of arsenic by the Paschen hollow cathode discharge in helium, plates were obtained which revealed with remarkable intensity the Lyman series of hydrogen extending down to the 15th member. The most interesting feature of the series, however, is the peculiar distribution of intensity among its members. Instead of the intensity diminishing steadily to the very last member, it diminishes rather slowly to the 10th member; there is a definite increase in intensity of the 11th and then an abrupt fall, so that the remaining members are only just observable.
