40. 0 values derived from experimental results, it must be borne in mind that effective aligning-field intensities at the sample may vary from spectrum to spectrum by significant factors owing to variations in laser-beam alignment and drifts in laser intensity.
41. The simulated naphthalene trimer contours in Fig. 14 are different in significant respects from the simulated contours for the same species presented by us in Ref. 5. The latter were obtained with a computer program that was in error in regard to the calculation of some Raman transitionmatrix elements. These errors were corrected for the calculations appearing in Ref. 8 and in this paper.
