The analysis of these curves is given inTables I. and II. The partial current curves are characterizedby successive maxima and minima due to inelastic collision ofresonance. We have chosen as before the points at whichsuch inelastic collisions begin to show an appreciable effect * Goucher, Phys. R. viii. p. 561 (1916). Resonance Potentials for Electrons in Metallic Vapours, 35 upon the current, rather than the position o£ maximum are determined by carefully plotting and extrapolatingthe lower portion o£ each curve.
