Abstract
IN the September number of The Philosophical Magazine there appears a paper by Prof. Barkla, in which are tabulated the results of some further experiments on characteristic (fluorescent) Rntgen radiations. It appears that some of the elements of high atomic weight give two lines in the fluorescent spectrum. Optical analogy suggests that there may be some simple relation connecting these spectral lines. Such a relation can, indeed, be readily obtained, and I should like to be allowed to direct attention to it.
