Abstract
MR. H. G. K. MOSELEY has published in the December issue of the Philosophical Magazine a very interesting paper describing his measurements of the wave-lengths of the characteristic X-ray lines of various metals. He has succeeded in calculating the wave-lengths of one-half of the lines he observed, assuming Bohr's atom and supposing the positive charge on the nucleus to correspond to the place of the element in the periodic table as suggested by van den Broek. He concludes that the agreement between calculated and observed wave-lengths strongly supports the views of Rutherford and of Bohr.
