The question concerning the nature of glowing active nitrogen has been a much discussed andcontroversial subject. It is unnecessary here to sketch historically the study of active nitrogen which has led to the atomic and molecular hypotheses of its nature3since this has been amply recorded in other works. Birge, 4Sponer5 andBirge and Sponer6 have shown that the eleventh vibrational state of the 9.3-volt electron level, from which the strongest bands in the afterglow proceed, corresponds to 11.4 volts above the normal level and this represents the true energy of combination of nitrogen atoms. This checks with other evidence as discussed by Birgeand Sponer6 as well as with the extrapolated value of the first band in the Lyman-Birge-Hopfield band system formerly attrib-uted to NO by Sponer4b but now known to belong to the nitrogen mole-
