The method of electron-photon coincidence is used to {open_quote}{open_quote}resolve{close_quote}{close_quote} the electron-impact excitation of the {ital n}{sup 1}{ital P} levels ({ital n}=3 and 4) from nearby levels. Experimentally determined ratios of the differential cross sections for the electron-impact excitation of 1{sup 1}{ital S}{r_arrow}2{sup 1}{ital P}, to 1{sup 1}{ital S}{r_arrow}3{sup 1}{ital P}, and 4{sup 1}{ital P} transitions are presented at 30-, 40-, and 80-eV incident electron energies. Differential cross sections for the 1{sup 1}{ital S}{r_arrow}3{sup 1}{ital P} and 1{sup 1}{ital S}{r_arrow}4{sup 1}{ital P} transitions are derived by normalizing these ratios to available experimental differential cross sections for the 1{sup 1}{ital S}{r_arrow}2{sup 1}{ital P} transition. The ratios and differential cross sections are compared to available theoretical and semiempirical data. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
