Abstract
To obtain a general conception of the energy states of a loosely bound molecule, we have investigated the molecular spectra of mercury, zinc, cadmium, calcium, magnesium, and thallium in emission with an apparatus capable of concentrating excited molecules in a suitable quantity. The photometric measurement of the photographic records obtained is summarised in Fig. 1, in which the intensity of a continuous spectrum is denoted by a full line, and that of the region with some structure by a dotted line.
