It is obvious that much more must be known before the phenome- 

 non ol chemihnninescence can be outlined in any detail. 



Acknowledgments 



The aiiilioi wishes to tliank Dr. Howard H. Seliger for the quantum yield 

 mcasiircinents. and Drs. John H. M. Hill and Eugene Galantay for some of the 

 experiments 'reported in tiiis paper.
