The published results for the distance between the two compo-nents of the yellow helium line (5876) are not concordant; andfurther seem to indicate that the distance is greater for solar heliumthan for that contained in a vacuum tube. Thus Runge andPaschen (Nature, June 6th, 1895) using a Geissler tube find forthe wave lengths of the two components and units, the latter being the weaker line. Mohler and Jewell(Astrophys.

The foregoing results having all been obtained by means ofgratings it seemed to the writers desirable to make an independentdetermination by mean
