A suggestion has been made by H. S. Allen' and extended by Deodhar,2 that many of the faint lines in the secondary spectrum of hydro- gen arise from Raman scattering in the electric discharge. It is the purpose of this note to call attention to a possible relationship be- tween the results of Allen and of Deodhar and other observations on the secondary spectrum and also to discuss several difficulties that might prevent the acceptance of the above suggestion. It may be recalled that Glitscher3 plotted the intensity distribution in the secondary spectrum of hydrogen and pointed out that the frequency separations between the most intense maxima in the intensity curves and the Balmer lines, were approximately con- stant. This relationship was found to hold also for a group of secondary maxima and possibly for even lesser maxima. It has been pointed out since the observation of this fact that some theoretical significance may at some time be ascribed to it. It is interesting now to note that the work of Allen points out a simi- lar relationship between the Balmer lines and some of the weak secondary lines. Both Allen and Deodhar have pointed out some very
