Abstract
The flame fluorescence technique has been used to study the fluorescence of lithium in sets of isothermal hydrogen-oxygen flames diluted with each of the gases argon, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. The measurements have given the following values (Å

≼ 0⋅3. The cross-section is defined as the square of the distance between centres of colliding species. These values are compared with those previously reported (Jenkins 1966, 1968) for the other alkali metals and their interpretation discussed. Details of the high intensity hollow cathode lamp used as a source of lithium resonance radiation are also given.
