A detailed observational study of the solar photospheric lithium feature has been carried out with emphasis on center-limb observations, continuum location, possible effects of telluric lines, effects of blending by atomic and molecular lines, and decomposition of the solar spectrum around 26707 A.

✦ Synopsis
The solar abundance of lithium and its isotopic abundance ratio were determined by comparing synthetic spectra with the high quality center-to-limb spectra of the solar lithium feature presented in Paper I by Brault and Mtiller (1974). The following possible effects on the abundance result were considered: deviations from LTE, atmospheric models, blends by molecular and atomic lines, hyperfine structure, large scale velocity fields. It was found that the photospheric lithium abundance is logeL~= 1.0:t=0.1. The greatest uncertainty is due to differences in the atmospheric models. The NLTE abundance result is 0.05 dex smaller than the LTE value. A mean depth of line formation was determined for the Li T 126707.776 ]k line. The lithium isotopic abundance ratio was found to be Li6/LiT~<0.01.

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).
