Summary
It is shown that the first of the two principal modes of vibration is strongly active in the absorption of infra-red absorption both as a fundamental and as a series of overtones and that the other mode would be wholly inactive. The position is reversed in the scattering of light with shifts of frequency; the first mode is not allowed, but the second is permitted.
