The curve III. runs nearest to the experimental curve: but still — if 

 we stick to the hypothesis recombination between primaries with con- 

 servation of momentum . — the assumption of 12 electrons in a single 

 J/-ring must be given up, because for small atomic numbers — owing 

 to the change of ^^»3 — the curve III. has a peculiar bend, which is not 

 at all indicated in the experimental curve. 



Passing from low atomic numbers the distance between III. and I. 

 first increases to a maximum for X= 18 and then decreases quite con- 

 siderably till X=22. Then the curve III. has a point of inflection and 

 runs more parallel to the experimental curve. 



The peculiar variation of the distance between the two curves III. 

 and I. is shown in fig. 3.
