In a recent survey article, Goldberg (1954) gives a list of 127 molecular bands which have been observed in the absorption spectrum of the earth’s atmosphere by studying the solar spectrum between 0.3 and 24 μ . Among these, 35 bands are attributed to the following molecules: O 3 , N 2 O, CH 4 , HDO, CO. The main purpose of this contribution to the Discussion was to show several of these bands as they appear on solar spectrograms taken at the International Scientific Station, Jungfraujoch (Switzerland), in collaboration with Dr L. Neven of the Royal Observatory, Uccle (Belgium). The altitude of this station is 3580 m. It has been pointed out in earlier notes (Migeotte & Neven 1952 a, b ) that these data have been obtained, under high resolving power, by using the prism-grating infra-red spectrograph of the University of Liege (Migeotte 1945). Between 9.33 and 10.08 μ , our spectrograms show 320 lines which are mainly due to the fine structure of the 9.6 μ band of ozone (Migeotte, Neven & Vigroux 1952). Part of our data has been analyzed recently by Kaplan (1955), of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (N. J.), U. S. A. A good fit for low J has been obtained with the following upper-state parameters: vibrational frequency v 3 1042.16 cm -1 ; rotational constants: A = 3.502 1 cm -1 , B = 0.440 1 cm -1 , C = 0.388 3 Cm -1 ; δ = 0.0166 34 .

AbstractEuhedral crystals of the low-temperature mineral lansfordite, MgCO3 · 5H2O, have been prepared from saturated magnesium bicarbonate solutions at temperatures below 10°C. The crystals are monoclinic P21/a with a = 12.4758(7), b = 7.6258(4), c = 7.3463(6)Å, β = 101.762(6)°, V = 684.24Å3, Dcalc. = 1.693 g cm−3, Dobs. = 1.70(1) g m−3. At room temperature, the crystals slowly effloresce to produce pseudomorphs of nesquehonite, MgCO3 · 3H2O. Dehydration is complete at 300°C, with decarbonation taking place in the interval to 560°C. A new X-ray powder diffraction pattern is presented, and details of the infra-red absorption spectrum are discussed.
