Measurements of auroral and nebular type transitions in several planetary nebulae of high surface brightness lead to the conclusion that presently available collisional cross sections and transitions probabilities for 3p/sup 3/ configurations in Ar/sup +3/ may be in error. The observed auroral/nebular line ratio is always larger than the predicted value, and the disagreement is further aggravated if auroral lines are weakened by telluric line absorption.
