The hyperfine structure of /sup 208/Bi (I = 5) was measured using the 3067 A spectral line from the 6p/sup 2/7s (/sup 4/P/sub 1/2/) - 6p/sup 3/ (/sup 4/S/sub 3/2/) transition. After production of the isotope at the Princeton University Cyclotron, chemical separation, and mass separation, some 10/sup 12/ atoms were used to produce an absorption spectrum. The monochromator, Czerny-Turner design), had a 9.1 m focal length with a 25 cm diffraction grating used in autocollimation near 63/sup 0/. The spectrum was recorded on photographic plates. Measurements were made of the position of the components. From these the value /sup 208/A (/sup 4/P/sub 1/2) = 166 (1.5) mK was obtained. Neglecting hyperfine anomalies this gives /sup 208/A (/sup 4/S/sub 3/2/) = 15.07 (.1). The isotope shift /sup 208/Bi-/sup 208/Bi was measured to be 50.58 (7.5) mK.
