Using a 40 cm curved muscovite mica crystal spectrograph of the transmission (Cauchois) type, the K/3-region of the electron excited X-ray emission spectrum of 26Fe has been ~nvestigated. Six high frequency and fpur low frequency K~-satellites, at 1.7324, 1.7162, 1.7127, 1.7015, 1.6892, 1.6692 A and at 1.8212, 1.8145, 1.7967, 1.7670 A, respectively, are reported for the first time. The high frequency satellites are understood to arise in multiple transitions of the type (ls)-l(2p) -~ ~(2p}-n(3p) -l with n = 2-4. The earlier reported high frequency satellite /35(IV) has been confirmed and identified as a component of the transition (ls)-l(2p)-l~ (2p)-l(3p) -1. RHF calculations for the energies of initial and final configurations have been found to give excellent agreement with the observed energies. The low frequency K/3-satellites are assigned to the transitions of the type (ls)-l(2p) -" ~ (ls)-l(2p) -"-1 with n = 4 and 5 and are recognized as hypersatellites. A satellite at 1.7670/~ is identified as the low frequency Kfl-satellite '/35' which has been reported in several other elements by earlier workers.
