Abstract
ALTHOUGH the absorption bands which appeared, as reported by Kuhn1 and Datta2, near the principal series lines of potassium at high vapour pressures were interpreted on the assumption of polarisation of the molecule, the bands which may have appeared near the resonance lines 7699, 7665 were not observed.
