Abstract
IN Nature of April 21, Mr. C. Candler puts forward the suggestion that a convenient, practical unit should be introduced for recording wave-numbers. Such a unit would certainly be welcome; but was not the name ‘Balmer’ suggested several years ago to denote the reciprocal of the Ångström unit? I regret that at the moment I am unable to locate the reference.
