Abstract
IN a recent publication A. Leide (Compt. rend. 180, p. 1203 (1925)) has reported the results of an investigation of the wave-lengths in the K series of X-rays for elements having atomic numbers between 29 (copper) and 53 (iodine). The spectrograph used had a high resolving power so that the 1 line was separated into its components. The accuracy was increased by a large number of exposures for each measurement. In addition to the well-known lines 1, 2, 1, 3 and or 2, he has reported in the case of molybdenum (42) and palladium (46), a line 4, ascribed to the transitions OII, OIIIK.
