Comments: The most prominent feature of the far ultra-violet spectrum is an absorption peak of maximum at 1900 A, obviously analogous to 
the benzene peak at 1790 A. A strong region of absorption appears from 2240 to about 2090 A: this contains a progression of diffuse, but well 
marked, bands, the frequencies of which are shown in table 1.
