Abstract
IN letters to NATURE (June 16, 1923, and July 26, 1924), and elsewhere (Proc. Roy. Soc. A, vols. 102, 104, 105), Dr. H. D. Smyth has described investigations he has made of the ionisation of several diatomic gases. By using positive ray analysis he was able to correlate different ionisation potentials with the production of ions of different ratio of mass to charge. I have now used the same apparatus to study the ionisation of argon, chiefly to explain, if possible, the “blue” spectrum of this element.
