Thallium. the final value of the resonance potential. The fact that thispoint does not show up as distinctly as the other resonancepoints is due to the temperature distribution of initial velo-cities of the electrons, and to the thermionic emission of all 40 Dr. Foote and Dr. Mohler on Ionization and parts of the apparatus on account of the high temperature,900° C, required. The partial current curves 6, 7, 8, 9 corre-spond to the total current curve 4, and were accordingly usedfor determining the initial potential. The initial potentialsfor curves 10 and 11, taken some time later, are a triflehigher. The final values obtained for thallium were 7*3 voltsfor the ionization potential and 1*07 volts for the resonancepotential. Discussion of the Results. If we apply
