Abstract
WE know that considerable interest is attached to certain auroral lines in the region 6300–6400 A. Thus the enhancement of one or more of these lines is responsible for a particular type of red-coloured auroræ1,3 and, according to the interpretation of the strong green line by McLennan and his collaborators, the OI-triplet (1D2 – 3P0,1,2) should appear in this region.
