Through the recent brilliant work of Pauli, Heisenberg and Hund the foundations have been laid for the interpretation of spectra in terms of atomic states, and it appears that we can now predict, almost with certainty, the structure and chief characteristics of any optical spectrum of the atom of any element when the extra-nuclear eletronic configuration that gives rise to it is known. Conversely, if the characteristics of any optical spectrum of an atom be known, it is possible likewise definitely to describe the extra-nuclear electronic states of the atom involved in the production of such spectrum. The writers were engaged recently in a study of the optical spectra of a number of elements, including manganese, gold, platinum and palladium, and by applying the ideas of Heisenberg and Hund succeeded in unravelling the arc spectra of each of these elements, and also, in part, those of a number of other elements. In the course of this work we had the advantage of several consultations with Dr. Laporte during a visit he very kindly made to the Physical Laboratory at Toronto, and we wish to acknowledge here our appreciation of his help.
