As was pointed out by Baman and Krishnan,1 the nebulosity or wings which appear accompanying the original lines of the mercury arc in the spectrum of the light transversely scattered by liquids consist of nearly completely unpolarised light. These wings arise from an unresolved rotational Baman scattering, their intensity depends on the optical anisotropy of the molecules concerned, and they contribute in a not negligible degree to the total scattering by the liquid. Owing to the fact that it consists mainly of unpolarised light, the existence of rotational scattering affects the observed depolarisation of the total scattered light to a notable extent. This is illustrated by the figures given in Table I., in which measurements with carbon disulphide, benzene, and toluene are shown. The first column of figures gives the depolarisation, as measured with a nicol and a spectroscope with a very wide slit, so that the Bayleigh and rotational Baman scattering are superposed.
