Abstract

I THINK that all those who have worked on the spectrum of the aurora will congratulate Prof. Vegard on the notable success he has achieved in photographing so distinctly the line or band about λ5238 as recorded in his letter in NATURE of Mar. 5, p. 349. The technical difficulties which he had to overcome were formidable.
