Abstract
BY the work of Curtis and Fowler, the structure of the band spectrum of helium has become well known. More recently, Weizel and Füchtbauer (Zeit. f. Phys., 44, 431; 1927) added considerably to our knowledge of the spectrum by detecting a number of new bands which they could ascribe to transitions between terms with the oscillational quantum number one. Nevertheless, there appear to be in the spectrum still many lines which have not yet been arranged into bands. As the helium band spectrum is of considerable theoretical interest, we have analysed those parts not yet studied by previous investigators.
