Abstract
IN a paper on the anomalous magnetic rotation in excited neon (Phys. Rev., 32, 681; 1928), I published values of the dispersion constants determined from the anomalous rotation which were erroneous. Due to the omission of the factor π/180 from the numerical part of equ. (4) of that paper, the values of the dispersion constants given are much larger than they should be. If this factor is included, the values so found are considerably smaller than those of Kopferman and Ladenburg, instead of much larger. This result is also more in accordance with what one might expect from their work on the effect of the different conditions of excitation on the anomalous dispersion. The pressure in the tube and the exciting current used by me were both such as to give results considerably below the maximum, whereas the values of Kopferman and Ladenburg are saturation values.
