Abstract
IN an earlier report1 on the fine structures in the are spectra of bromine and iodine, a tentative value of 92/ was proposed for the nuclear spin of iodine. The iodine arc spectrum was excited by a high-frequency electrodeless discharge, and as the structures were small and the individual components broad, it was pointed out that the spin value, which was based largely on one line, was not reliable because of imperfect resolution. It was definitely shown then that I was certainly 52/.
