The object of the present investigation was to obtain some further evidence on the apparent production of neon and helium by electric discharges in vacuum tubes, which has been described by Collie and Patterson. Strutt has recently attempted to repeat these experiments, using methods somewhat different to those of Collie and Patterson, with negative results.
