that to first order produce vanishing internal magnetic fields. This is in agreement with the fact that the rotations in this case correspond to average fields of 50 kilogauss, while it is of the order of megagauss in Sm and Dy at the same (room) temperature. If one tries to account for this small resid~"= l rotation by taking intoaccount higher multiplets, one finds it difficult to ex-plain the observed sign of the rotation. In particular, if one assumes thatthe low-lying J= 1 state in Eu (which contributes to the magnetic moment of the Eu ion) is responsible for the hy-perfine interaction, a negative rotation is pre-dicted, in disagreement with experiment. It is clear that in Sm" and Dy', unlike the case in Fe, the contributions to the internal magnetic field arising from s electrons exchangecoupled to the f-shell electrons are not sufficiently large to change the sign of the observed internal field. In the case of Eu or Gd, however, the main source of field may be the exchangecoupled contribution. If the exchange-coupled contribution does not vary appreciably among the various rare earths, this interpretation is consistent with the results obtained in Sm and Dy. With thefurther assumption that the ex-change-coupled interaction is of the form A'I~ 5, the sign of A'for Eu or Gd is determined to be negative.
