BY means of a sensitive tube counter outfit in which the effects of penetrating cosmic radiation are partially compensated1, it was found that mercury (as HgO) could be activated by neutron bombardment, the active product decaying with a period of 40 +/- 5 hours. The irradiated mercury oxide was dissolved in nitric acid and the mercury passed through a series of different precipitations. It was also mixed with inactive gold and platinum compounds, and the metals then carefully separated. In every case the activity followed the mercury fraction and is, consequently, probably due to the isotope 80Hg205.
