Abstract
THE detection of metargon, and the statement that its spectrum, at all events, closely agrees with the Swan-spectrum, seems to possess a very great interest for the physics of our solar system. It gives a new and expected support to the assumption of an interplanetary atmosphere, which, as I shortly hope to show, will enable us to indicate the solution of most problems relating to the comets, and probably, also, to the sun.
