Abstract
This paper is a continuation of one “On the Illumination of Lines of Molecular Pressure, and the Trajectory of Molecules,” which was read before the Royal Society on the 5th of December last. The author has further examined the action of the molecular rays electrically projected from the negative pole in very highly exhausted tubes, and finds that the green phosphorescence of the glass (by means of which the presence of the molecular rays is manifested) does not take place close to the negative pole. Within the dark space there is absolutely no phosphorescence; at very high exhaustions the luminous boundary of the dark space disappears, and now the phosphorescence extends all over the sensitive surface.
