Abstract
IN his lecture at the Royal Institution on March 11, Dr. Brereton Baker proposed the term electromerisation instead of ionisation when applied to gases. May I venture to suggest the word “electronisation” as more euphonious, and as indicating the essential difference in the process, viz. the freeing of electrons instead of ions?
