Abstract
IN taking a photometer curve of the 0→1 band 1 II ( λ= 4835), we observed that in all three branches, P, Q and R, beginning with the same value J = 38 of the upper level, the lines abruptly decrease in intensity to less than half the original value. It seems to us reasonable to assume that this remarkable feature is caused by a predissociation of 1 into the triplet dissociation term 3P (oxygen) +1D (carbon).
