The 2-0, 3-1,4-2, 5-3, and 6-4 emission bands of carbon monoxide have been measured 111 the region from 4000 to 4360 cml with a grating spectrometer.A 10 000 line p er inch grating used in the second order resolved lines separated by 0.08 cml .' Several sets of measure me~ts were made on the 2-0 band and the molecular constants were calculated.The constants lD cml are Bo = 1.92251l ± 0.000025 Do= 6.13 ± 0.02 X lO-6.Using these values and the Bo from 1-0 band in conjunction with the microwave constant a new determination of the speed of light is obtained, c= 299,794 ± 3 kilometers per second.
