Abstract
ONE of the outstanding features of recent progress in experimental physics is the remarkable development of research in spectroscopy. This is largely due to the efforts of theoretical workers who, although the precise physical meaning of their assumptions cannot always be assigned, have nevertheless achieved amazing success in constructing semi-empirical rules for the analysis of spectra. The generality and extremely suggestive character of these rules have inspired fresh investigations of the spectra of the majority of the elements, with the result, among others, that lists of spectrum lines which were once regarded as complete are being augmented to a surprising extent and at an unprecedented rate.
