Abstract
The spectrum of the solar limb has been recorded in the wavelength region 300–2803 Å using instrumentation carried in ‘Skylark’ rockets. More than 600 emission lines have been observed of which about 500 have firm identifications, while 50 lines remain unidentified. A complete list of observed emission lines is given together with estimated line intensities and comments on the identifications.
