Summary This paper consists of two parts: the first is a theoretical investigation of the behaviour of an ionized gas under the conditions existing in a discharge-tube. It is shown that the electrons will oscillate with a high frequency, their oscillations producing alternating currents of this frequency. It is also shown that under certain conditions the discharge through the positive column, whether it is striated or continuous, should be intermittent.
