Abstract
The existence of strong short-wave radiation from hydrogen flames was noted by Stokes in 1852 and the banded ultra-violet spectrum was first mapped independently by Liveing and Dewar (1880) and Huggins (1880). The strongest band has its main head at 3063.6 Å, is degraded to the red and shows a very open but rather complicated rotational structure. This strong (0,0) band has two other strong heads at 3067.6 and 3090.4 Å with a fourth less definite head around 3078 Å. There are similar weaker bands with first heads at 3428 (0,1), 2811 (1,0) and 2608 (2,0). Wavelengths are given in the Appendix, page 364, and the structure of the (0,0) band is shown in Plate 3a. Other plates show the bands with smaller dispersion.
