A reddish luminescence mouch more intense than the scattered light was observed in excited fast neutron irradiated vitreous silica and quartz. The cause of this luminescence was investigated. It is probably necessary to observe the detailed behavior of the absorption bands during lumoinescence in order to identify the luminescence centers; however, this work does not identify the excitation centers as being those with which the tail of the ultraviolet absorption is associated.
