✦ Synopsis

In this paper the levels of a d&--configuration are calculated in centralfield approximation using K r a m e r s's symbolic method of vector invariants.

The formulae obtained are compared with the experimental data found for the 3d04s5s-configuration of the copper atom in three types of approximation.

It is found that not very satisfactory agreement with experiment can be reached with the theory given. Possible reasons for this are discussed. In a corollary a preliminary result for the configuration 4d95s6s of the silver atom is given.
