Using a focusing X-ray spectrograph of Cauchois type, three new lines at 1737.2, 2280.9, and 2354.9 X unit (Xu) have been observed in the L-emission spectrum of neodymium-60. The first two lines have been ascribed to the forbidden transition LI,NVI, VII and quadrupole transition LIIMIII (β17), respectively. The third one has been identified as the high frequency satellite Lαx. The existence of three quadrupole lines LINIV, V (γII), LIINVI, VII (γ8′), and LIIINVI, VII (β7′), only reported by Gokhale and Shukla, has been confirmed. The measurements of previously known diagram lines have been compared with those of earlier workers.
