Using carefully selected oscillator strengths the logarithm of the average excitation energy, measured in rybdergs, appropriate to the Lamb shift is computed to be 4.37 ± 0.03. Taken together with recent calculations by Pekeris, the theoretical value of the ionization potential of helium is 198310 674 ± 0.025 cm-1 compared with 1983 10.82 ± 0.15 cm-1, the experimental value.
