Continuous Emission in the Spectra of Gaseous Nebulae.

[en] The visual continua in the spectra of three nebulae photographed with a narrow slit are not produced by the blending of atomic emission lines but must have a physical origin. Several strong He I emission lines just beyond the Balmer limit may tend to vitiate measurements of the intensity distribution in the Balmer continuum on plates taken with a wide slit.
