  The 
  values 
  for 
  a 
  x 
  and 
  P 
  ' 
  here 
  found 
  should 
  be 
  substituted 
  

   for 
  those 
  given 
  in 
  my 
  previous 
  communication 
  (p

  The 
  divergences 
  between 
  the 
  uncorrected 
  nitrogen 
  scale 
  

   and 
  the 
  theoretical 
  scale, 
  whose 
  constants 
  have 
  just 
  been 
  

   calculated 
  and 
  which 
  represents 
  the 
  normal 
  scale 
  of 
  tem- 
  

   peratures, 
  are 
  proportional 
  to 
  the 
  temperature 
  measured 
  from 
  

   100° 
  and 
  have 
  the 
  following 
  values 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  At 
  100° 
  .... 
  0-000 
  

  

  200°

  300° 
  .... 
  0-047 
  

  

  400° 
  .... 
  0-070 
  

  

  The 
  difference 
  between 
  these 
  values 
  and 
  those 
  given 
  

   previously 
  is 
  too 
  small 
  to 
  be 
  of 
  - 
  appreciable 
  practical 
  im- 
  

   portance, 
  and 
  our 
  previous 
  conclusions 
  remain 
  unaltered

  IN 
  his 
  valuable 
  papers 
  on 
  the 
  Zeeman 
  Phenomenon, 
  

   Professor 
  W. 
  Voigt 
  % 
  predicted 
  an 
  asymmetry 
  of 
  the 
  

   normal 
  triplet 
  in 
  the 
  sense 
  that 
  the 
  new 
  component 
  lying 
  

   towards 
  the 
  violet 
  end 
  should 
  be 
  at 
  a 
  greater 
  distance 
  from 
  

   the 
  central 
  component 
  than 
  the 
  new 
  component 
  lying 
  towards
