Abstract
DURING work on the absorption spectra of mixtures of metallic vapours, I have obtained band spectra peculiar to mixtures of magnesium and alkali metals, and also to mixtures of calcium and alkali metals. A sodium-potassium band spectrum has already been described (Proc. Roy. Soc., 1924). The existence of such band spectra is of interest, as it points to the presence of molecules of volatile alloys of these metals in the mixed vapours.
