The recent R-matrix calculations of the 1(1)S-2(3)S and 1(1)S-2(3)P electron excitation collision rates in Mg XI by Tayal and Kingston (1984) are used to determine the ratio R of the forbidden to the intercombination line and the ratio G of the forbidden plus intercombination lines to the resonance line. These ratios are respectively electron density and temperature sensitive. Values for R very similar to those deduced by Wolfson et al. (1983), Pradhan and Shull (1981), and Pradhan (1982) are found. The results for G, however, are 25-30 percent smaller than those calculated by these authors. The theoretical value of G at the temperature of maximum emission is now in excellent agreement with that observed for the November 5, 1980 flare by the SMM satellite.
