He found that the light from a Mexican Pyrophorus gave a continuous spectrum.

On the Spectra of Ignited Gases and Vapours, with especial regard to the different Spectra of the same Elementary Gaseous Substance. Phil. Trans. 1865, P. 1.

These important experiments show that by varying the physical conditions certain of the elementary bodies yield two distinct spectra. Plücker explains this by the assumption of several allotropic conditions of the element existing at various temperatures.

Taking as his starting-point the determination of wave-lengths of the principal Fraunhofer's Lines by Ångström (Recherches sur le Spectre Solaire, par A. J. Ångström. I.-Spectre Normal du Soleil. Upsal, 1868), the author, by graphical interpolation, obtains, from Kirchhoff's and Angström's Tables, the wave-lengths of the bright metallic lines. A large Plate accompanies the Memoir, giving the lines and their wave-lengths of forty-five metals. The following twenty-three were examined in the metallic state :-K, Na, Mg, Al, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Cd, Pb, Tl, Bi, Cu, Hg, Ag, Au, Sn, Pt, Pd, Os, Sb, Te, In. The remaining twenty-two were examined as chlorides : Li, Cs, Rb, Ba, Sr, Ca, Gl, Zr, Er, Y, Th, Mn, Cr, Ce, D, L, U, Ti, Wo, Mo, V, As.
