Abstract
MASS-SPECTRA of germanium were first photographed five years ago by the method of accelerated anode rays. The effects then obtained were feeble, but sufficient to enable identification of its three principal isotopes, 70, 72, 74. Recently, thanks to the kindness of Prof. Dennis, of Cornell, I have been provided with some volatile compounds of this element suitable for use in the ordinary discharge tube, which so far is the only source giving beams of sufficient intensity for use with my new instrument.
