(*) This radiationless character of Bohr’s orbits can, as we know, not be explained within the framework of Bohr’s theory. As we are about to deal only with the derivation of the Balmer formulawithout making use of the quantum condition, we shall leave also this problem open (but compare Bopp’s paper in this issue).
