QUASARS `or something' have been a desideratum, of the electrical discharge theory of cosmic atmospheric phenomena and universal evolution since its inception in 1941, and the absence of any reference to galaxies which are radiating an inordinate amount of energy was one of the main difficulties facing the theory. As the years went on, I had to conclude that the energy must be largely in the unobservable range, for example, X-rays or γ-rays. However, in the original outline of these ideas published in 1944 (ref. 1a), I emphasized that galaxies exist which possess an emission line spectrum, and that in all probability they are those which the theory required. In a recent review article2 on quasars, this is still their only optical characteristic mentioned.
