Abstract
IN a paper recently published (Transactions Royal Dublin Society and Phil. Mag., February) I described some work on secondary β radiation given off by substances when exposed to β (and γ) rays from radium. The paper gave the relative intensity of this secondary radiation for only a few elements, but the results from these few indicated that the greater the atomic weight the greater was the secondary radiation.
