Abstract
LONDON. Royal Society, June 24.—J. C. McLennan and A. B. McLay: On the structure of the arc spectrum of gold.—Nearly all the wave-lengths known to belong to the gold arc-spectrum have been classified. The most important wave-lengths not yet classified are six that were found to be absorbed by the vapour in the under-water spark of gold. These wavelengths undoubtedly involve the metastable term ID32. Zeeman - effect experiments will probably furnish the best means of definitely settling any features of the arc-spectrum of gold not yet clear.
