The Raman spectrum of water vapor at atmospheric pressure was obtained. Special precautions were taken to avoid parasitic light and a search made for the 1648 cmmdash;1, and 984 cmmdash;1shifts reported by Johnston and Walker. These shifts were not observed. A line was found which might be correlated with Mecke'sv(sgr;) but the evidence in this case is not conclusive.
