Abstract
IN a recent paper1 it has been shown that carbon dioxide, when excited to luminescence by an electrical discharge in a vacuum tube, possesses a blue-violet afterglow having a spectrum similar to that obtained by burning carbon monoxide in air or oxygen. The spectrum has now, on the suggestion of Prof. A. Fowler, been produced from a modified source which is brighter than the afterglow in the gas at low pressure.
