Abstract
For some time past we have been investigating the cold cathode glow discharge in helium with probe wires, for approximately ‘normal’ conditions at a pressure of about 1 mm. of mercury. The work with cathode falls in potential less than 100 volts is still incomplete, but two cases in which we have been able to correlate the spectrum with the electrical data are of some interest.
