Abstract
Observations have been carried out on the splitting of thorium stars in photographic emulsions. It is found that this process is caused entirely by the Brownian motion of the thoron atoms produced in the course of successive decays. Applying the classical statistical theory, the diffusion coefficient of thoron in gelatin and the viscosity of dry gelatin at room temperature have been deduced. The results are discussed in the light of our present knowledge of the structure of gelatin.
