But the displacements peratmosphere are almost invariably greater at low pressures than at high ones(see Table III.) which seriously challenges the existence of an exact linear is clearly brought out by Diagram 2, in which the mean displacement peratmosphere form the ordinates and the pressure the abscissae of the curves, each olwhich represents the behaviour of one particular spectrum line whose identity can betraced from the number assigned to it. There is a general downward trend as thepressure increases, which is in favour of the rate of displacement decreasing withincrease of pressure.

If the decrease of the displacement per atmosphere with the pressure were linearthroughout the whole range, it would lead to an equation between the displacement d0and the pressure p of the parabolic form d0 = Ap — Bp2 in which the constant B is though a linear relationship may reasonably represent the graph of d0/p and pover the small range of pressure from 20 to 80 atmosp
