Abstract

Monochromatic magnitudes of Mars were determined from spectra taken on 40 nights in 1954. The plates were measured at seven wave-lengths from λ 4050 to λ 6360. Monochromatic coefficients of phase and values of the Russell-Bond albedo are given. The work is essentially a repeat of the 1952 programme but has more weight.
