eating that they are emitted by a very highly ionized atom. The p D — p S transition falls outside the observable range. There still remain, however, certain discrepancies in the behavior of these lines in the nebulae. Thus 3869 and 3967 of Ne hi appear relatively stronger in low-excitation nebulae than 4959 and 5007 of O in in spite of the fact that all stages of ionization of neon have ionization potentials of 6 to 8 volts higher than the corresponding stage of oxygen. Also the. 3342 line is definitely due to the permitted O in line with which it coincides in position. It always maintains the proper intensity ratio to the other O in lines as well as being completely missing in many nebulae of low excitation where 3869 and 3967 are still prominent. This failure of the p D — p S transition of Ne hi to appear in nebulae may find its explanation in the fact, suggested by a preliminary calculation, that the p Pi — p S transition is so probable in Nein that a large part of the atoms are removed from the p S state by this path.
