Abstract
IT was found some years ago by one of us (J. W. R.) that if a condenser of the order of a microfarad capacity was discharged through a tube containing neon at a pressure of about 10 mm. with an adjustable resistance in series, then when the resistance was reduced below a certain value there was a marked change in the character of the discharge, distinguishing clearly the new type of discharge from others obtainable in such tubes.
