IN a recent letter1 it was shown that the number of arrivals, pn, in the nth quantum state of the hydrogen atom in a discharge tube and in the planetary nebulæ was not the same as the number of captures predicted by Kramers' Law. The arrivals, pn, were computed from measured line intensities for n >= 3, and the number of captures on n = 2 was obtained directly from the Balmer continuous emission, Bac. If, as convincing arguments2appeared to show, these observed arrivals, pn, were almost wholly due to captures of free electrons, it followed that Kramers' Law was wrong. This view was strengthened in the case of the discharge tube by a measurement of the Paschen continuous emission, Pac, which gave directly the number of captures on n = 3, and which was thought to be of the same magnitude as p3.
