New measurements of differential elastic neutron scattering for {sup 209}Bi at energies between 7.5 and 24.0 MeV are presented along with new measurements of {sigma}{sub {ital T}} up to 60 MeV. These data, taken together with earlier measurements at lower energy, provide a very large data set for testing and extending the dispersive optical-model analysis. The dispersion correction to the optical model has been obtained from the scattering and total cross-section data. The potential is extrapolated to negative energy for comparison with bound-state properties. A very good description of all of the data is obtained from {minus}20 to +60 MeV. The present analysis suggests somewhat less depletion of the Fermi sea in this mass region than has been obtained from electron-scattering data and from other recent treatments of the dispersion correction to the optical model.
