Abstract
* The term Coriolis pertiurbation is used to cover all perturbations in polyatomic molecules which arise from the interaction of the angular momentum of degenerate vibrations with the rotational angular momentum of the molecule (cf. Teller (I934) or Johnston and Dennison (1935)). The additional forces which arise in a rotating mechanical system were investigated by Coriolis (Journal Polytechnique, 1832); see, for instance, Routh (I898), Dynamics of a Particle, p. 156 or Haas (1928), Theoretical Physics, I, 45. The gyroscopic nature of the Coriolis (or compound centripetal) acceleration was pointed out by Thomson and Tait (I879), Natural Philosophy, I,, 392: see Webster (1912), Dynamics, p. 320.
