The image is too thin at the violet end to see any of the fine lines beyond H zeta.
3819.2 = same in epsilon Or. or slightly fainter.

The lines appear sharper in epsilon Orionis, but this may be due to the quality of the photographs.

One three prism plate of B Cent. is not sufficient to judge exactly of the nature of the lines.

The line 4116 is here barely seen.
Does any star in this series show this line as strong as in epsilon Orionis?

The line 4685 seems to be present but faint. It is decidedly fainter than 4675, whereas it is decidedly stronger in epsilon Orionis and even in tau [[strikethrough]] Canis Maj. [[/strikethrough]] Scorpii which seems the somewhat intermediate bet. epsilon Or. & beta Centauri.
