✦ Synopsis
Two new Th ix lines have been identified in the spectrum of the solar photosphere. The abundance derived from these lines together with the previously known Th Ix line at 4019 A, is log eTh = 0.85 • 0.20 in the log ea --12.00 scale. Analysis of three Pb I lines in the photospheric spectrum resulted in an abundance of log ePb = 1.90 4-0.10. The solar Th/Pb ratio is: + 0.09 eTh/ePb = 0.09 _ 0.05"

The solar abundance of germanium, deduced from two relatively unblended Ger lines, 23039.06 and 23269.50 is found to be logN(Ge) = 3.50 • 0.05 on the scale logN(H) = 12.00 in good agreement with Cameron's recent solar system abundance logN(Ge)=3.56 (on assumption logN(Si) = 7.50).
Recent measurements of WI oscillator strengths (Obbarius and Kock, 1982) lead to a solar photospheric abundance of tungsten, loge~r = 1.06 +\_ 0.15 on the scale log~r~ -12. The solar W/Si abundance ratio, 0.32 W atoms/106 Si, coincides with that found in carbonaceous chrondrites. Implications for s
The solar abundance of beryllium is deduced from high-resolution Kilt Peak observations of the 23130.43 and 23131.08 lines of Be II interpreted by the method of spectrum synthesis. The results are in good agreement with those previously obtained by Grevesse and by H'auge and Engvold and indicate tha
