Abstract
IN a former note1 we reported the results of our researches on the influence of temperature on the broadening of the mercury absorption line 2537 A. caused by helium at constant concentration of both gases. No changes of the line width exceeding the limits of experimental errors were observed. Now we have investigated with the same experimental arrangement the broadening of this line caused by admixture of argon. The constant concentration of mercury was about 6 × 1014 atoms per c.c. and that of argon 1·4 × 1019 atoms per c.c.
