Abstract
THE spectrum of neutral oxygen has been analysed by Runge, Paschen, Hopfield, McLennan, and especially by Frerichs.1 The deep terms 3P210 = 109837.3; 109679.2; 109610.5; 1D2 = 93970.3; 1S0 = 76045.6 account for the green and red lines in aurora and nebulæ (λλ5577; 6300; 6364). Still, there are a few isolated lines of groups in the spectrum unclassified and not connected by known terms. These groups are: I. (4)6654.121, (5)6374.292, (4)6366.282. II. (1)6266.692, (2)6264.346,(5)6261.314,(1)6258.965, (3)6256.616. III. (3)5995.198, (1)5993.102, (2)5991.852, (1)5991.255.
