Abstract
IN a recent letter to NATURE (April 25) Messrs. Khastgir and Watson have given some graphical tables where the wave-lengths of the X-ray line K are plotted against the atomic number of the elements Nos. 48–60. In these curves there are two discontinuities at Z 52 and at Z 56, which the authors ascribe to the supposed J-transformation of Barkla. The authors state as follows (p. 605): “This seems to be the first spectroscopic evidence of the J-transformation”.
