V. Discussion of Results. 



If the measurements made by the writers be compared with 

 the others given in Table I., it will be seen that the line observed by 

 us at 3 • 02/i is probably the same as that given by Coblentz and Geer 

 at 3-00;u and the maximum at l-72^t doubtless corresponds to the 

 group of four lines given by Paschen between l-692ju and 1-711/i. 

 There is no line given by the others near 1 • 483 unless it be that given 

 by Paschen at l-529^t and the one given by Moll at 1-52/z. The 

 maximum noted at 1-377^ represents probably a combination of 

 Paschen's two lines at 1-395/i and 1-367/i and the lines nearest to 

 1-329// are that noted by Paschen at 1-3517// and that given by 

 Coblentz and Geer at 1-285. The line at 1-270// appears to be a 

 new one, unless it be the same as that given by Coblentz and Geer at 

 1 • 285//. That at 1 • 205// very likely represents a combination of the
