1. The Rydberg-Ritz formula results from combining the relation [formula omitted] [ΔT as defined in Eq. (3)] with the polarization energy [formula omitted] [Eq. (4a)].
2. ξ describes the interaction between pure d-type Rydberg states and, therefore, does not strictly correspond to the experimentally determined quantity ξ. A more accurate calculation of ξ would have to take into account [formula omitted] mixing between the ndσ and the [formula omitted] states.
3. When l is an integer, not only [formula omitted] but also the diagonal elements of [formula omitted] (e.g., [formula omitted] and [formula omitted]) equal [formula omitted] However, if l is not an integer, the values of these matrix elements in general do no longer coincide.
4. [formula omitted] mixing modifies the l-uncoupling matrix elements between the states H and [formula omitted] or O and [formula omitted] according to Eq. (17). Corresponding elements occur between the states E and [formula omitted] or S and [formula omitted] due to the partial d character of the E and S states.
5. Thanks are due to Professor Miescher for communicating the spectrogram.
6. A [formula omitted] transition was assumed (cf. Sec. V.A).
