used to indicate the presence of an energy too poorly resolved

(although not necessaril:y very small in intensity) to warrant
an estimated quantitative listing.

In some cases there appear to be discrepancies between
photon intensities from the same lines taken at nearly the

same time for the two gain settings.

Most of these inten-

sities are not discrepant, however, by much more than the
estimated error would allow.

In those cases where the dif-

ference is too large, the estimated errors should be increased.
However, some of the differences seem predominantly
one-sided.

This inconsistency is especially noticeable for

some of the 220 kev lines, i.e.,areas recorded at high gain

are lower than comparable areas recorded at standard gain,
sometimes by as much as 30 percent.

For many of the 105 kev

at high gain are higher than comparable areas recorded at

standard gain.
