Abstract
IN the course of an investigation of the fine structure of the Balmer lines, at present being undertaken in this Laboratory, certain preliminary results of an apparently novel character have been obtained which seem to be of considerable interest. These refer to the dependence of the relative intensities of the two components λ′ and λ″ of Ha[λ <λ″), referred to in a recent letter in NATURE (Jan. 29, p. 163), upon the conditions of the discharge and in particular upon the diameter of the tube in which the discharge takes place.
