The various methods of measuring the electronic energy band structures of solids are reviewed, with an emphasis on those which contain the most information, videlicet, the optical and photoemission data. The problems involved in the comparison of the theory with the experimental results, with reference to recent calculations on metals and alloys are discussed.
