Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions and Proceedings and Report of the Royal Society of South Australia (Incorporated), Vol. 32: With Eighteen Plates and Forty-Two Figures in the Text It may not be out of place at this point to remark that the nucleus of such clusters might possibly be formed either by the partial recombination of a positive and a negative ion which have each had time to become attached to neutral molecules of the gas or by the immediate partial recombina tion of a parent molecule and the electron ejected from it by the process of ionization. Just as this paper was near completion the results of an investigation by Von Erich Barkow (5) came to hand, in which the existence of neutral pairs of ions, evidently produced in the former manner, offers a ready explanation of the effects observed.
