Since many discrepancies between the observed and theoretical noises of multipliers have been reported in connection with a suspected effect related to the spark of the electron tubes, the theoretical noise formula was proved experimentally. The formula was adjusted for 10 multipliers so that the noise spectrum was in the audio range and was white'' to unimportant deviations. The remaining area of the formula was confirmed essentially quantatively. The investigation of the relationship between light intensity and anode current shows that at anode currents < 10/sup -6/ A deviations from linearity occurred in excess of 1%. The deviation then is essentially a reversible fatigue phenomenon (J.S.R.)
