Emission lines arising from high n transitions (16-15 and 14-13) in neutral hydrogen have been detected in high resolution solar spectra obtained with a Michelson interferometer on a balloon-borne telescope. Absolute intensities are close to the predicted values of Hoang-Binh (1982) when pressure-broadening is included, with observed line intensities of up to 10 percent above the solar continuum. Equivalent emission from heavier elements, such as MgI and SiI, which is dominant in the near infrared at lower n values, may be present but is significantly weaker than that from HI transitions.
