โฆ Synopsis
The electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and viscosity of models of the quiet photosphere and the umbra of a sunspot have been calculated using LTE ionization equilibria and the Chapman-Enskog theory of transport coefficients. The results are presented in tabular form, and compared with previous calculations.

Recently E. H. Schroeter showed that the electrical conductivity of the sunspot umbra, at least in the upper photospheric layers, is about ten-thousand times less than the value used by Cowling. This result implies that electrical conductivity gradients near sunspots may be relatively large. Upon ta
Line profiles of Euli 24129.7 ~ and LalI 24086.7 A, were observed photoelectrically and photographically in the photosphere and within sunspots and after correction were compared with calculated profiles. The observed large hyperfine structure broadening and isotope shift of 24129.7 A\_ confirm the
