Abstract
IN a letter to Nature, Kimball and Bates1 stated that they have succeeded in obtaining the band spectrum of AsH. The spectrum was excited in a carbon arc run in an atmosphere of hydrogen. The lower electrode formed the cathode of the arc and contained the arsenic. Two bands with origins at 32,380.2 cm.−1 and 31,639.9 cm.−1 were observed and attributed to AsH. The lines of the band at 32,380.2 cm.−1 are represented by the formula 
We have tried to photograph the bands mentioned by Kimball and Bates but without success, although a large range of excitation conditions has been used.
