SINCE the publication of my letter on the transmutation of lead in NATURE of May 1, 1926, I have continued the experiments in collaboration with Dr. A. Karssen and W. A. Frederikse. In the letter mentioned above I stated that our repeated experiments showed that the phenomena observed with the quartz-lead lamp and pointing to a transmutation of lead into mercury, were very difficult to reproduce. The lamp with which we obtained the photograms published was the tenth made after changing the construction from time to time to secure the most distinct results. In the hope of arriving at a still better method, and intending to distil off the mercury continually during the sparking process, the construction of the lamp was again changed. The result, however, was that, even without distillation, the lead spectrum now remained absolutely free from mercury lines.
