Abstract
DURING the past year, I have been studying the effect of oxygen on the auroral afterglow in nitrogen. This afterglow is the one the spectrum of which corresponds to the nitrogen part of the auroral spectrum. Attention has been directed elsewhere1 to some of the more general results of these experiments, but in view of the recent communication by Vegard and Tønsberg2 on the difference between the spectra of sunlit and ordinary auroras, one aspect of my experiments seems worth special mention here.
