IN a letter to NATURE (April 17, 1926, p. 555) I gave a short report of experiments on the fluorescence of mercury vapour. The conclusion arrived at was that the, total intensity of the visible fluorescence in saturated mercury vapour, as well as that of different bands and lines in the visible and ultra-violet part of the spectrum, is, for a given exciting light, a function of the temperature only. These results are in disagreement with those of R. W. Wood and van der Lingen (Proc. Roy. Soc., 99, 362, 1921, and Astrophys. Jour., 54, 149, 1921). According to these authors the fluorescence can only be excited in freshly formed mercury vapour.
