Investigation of Ionization of Argon by Electron Collisions. 149 ionising voltage of potassium found by these experimenters, viz., 43 fact suggests that the lower of the two voltages given above is the onewhich really corresponds to the M absorption limit for potassium, and thatthe greater of the two voltages given above is that required to remove twoelectrons simultaneously from the potassium atom, the outer more looselyattached electron, and one from the M ring of electrons. On this view, theoccurrence of a break in the ionisation curves at 23 + 1 volts is readilyexplained, and the agreement between the lower value given above and thatdetermined from the curve of fig. 6 is very satisfactory. o Atomic numbers for M^M^a-nd M^ lines 50 60 70 80 90.

Kurth obtained another break in hisradiation curve for copper, at about 300 volts, and this he attributes to theM series of copper. This value is, of course, very far from falling on thecurve connecting Eichardsons molybdenum value and our own argon admits, however, that the value attributed by him to an N series mayreally correspond
