Some absorption features in the ultraviolet spectrum of Venus observed by OAO-2 cannot be interpreted in terms of H2SO4. Carbon suboxide polymer has a yellow color and absorption at 2000 A. Fine graphite grains have an absorption band at about 2175 A, as is well known in the case of interstellar extinction curves. A mixture of these substances which is inevitably formed in the Venusian atmosphere by photochemical reactions is the best candidate for explaining the Venusian absorption features in the ultraviolet.
