The electron spectra of americium from 1 to 400 kev were measured with a universal ore resistant t spectrometer in order to verify the data on excitation levels and transitions in Np/sup 237/. Conversion electrons for transitions 42.8, 76, and 103 kev were observed and transitions 127, 159, 166, 208, and 268 kev formerly observed only with ray accompanying Am/sup 241/ decay are confirmed. In addition, observations on certain conversion electrons suggest the existence of transitions 27, 67, 70, 123, 164.7, 234, 304.4, 333, and 369 kev. The decay scheme of Am/sup 237/ to Np/sup 237/ is included. (R.V.J.)
