In view of Lockyers early observations, it is odd that he did notadopt the hypothesis that spots are regions of reduced has long held, on the contrary, that at times of sun-spot maximum(when our spectra were photographed) the spot temperature is sohigh as to dissociate many of the elements represented in the solarspectrum. If, as a paper published before the appearance of ourMount Wilson results indicates, he now believes that sun-spots andred-type stars are cooler than the reversing layer, he may have aban-doned or modified his views regarding dissociation in -<
