There exists presently no general agreement concerning the collisional excitation rates of atomic hydrogen. The present investigation is concerned with the results reported by various investigators, taking into account the semiempirical rates of Johnson (1972), a study conducted by Aggarwal (1983), empirically based rates of Crandall et al. (1974), and the rates tabulated in Osterbrock (1974), based on the close-coupling calculations of Burke et al. (1967). It is found that there is a major conflict between the 'best' theoretical and Johnson values on the one hand, and the empirical data on the other. A study of the data shows that the Johnson value for the 1 to 2 rate agrees well with other theoretical calculations, and within 25 percent of empirical measurements, but that the Johnson 1 to 3 rate is 40-75 percent of the 'best' theoretical calculations.
