The total continuou s emission coefficient for a L TE hydrogen plasma at one atmosphere is calculated for a temperature range from 8000 to 16000 K and a wavelength range from 400 to 15000 A.Contributions involving the species H, Hi, H-, and H2 , as well as the wings of Stark-broade ned hydroge n lines are included. This calculati on wi ll permit th e radiation e mitted from a laboratory hydroge n plasma to be used as a high intensity spectral radian ce calibration standard_

Stubble quail occur in more arid areas of Australia than king quail; however, the rates of metabolism and the ability to regulate body temperature in response to varying ambient temperature are similar in both birds, and resemble those of other quail species. At high ambient temperatures, rates of heat loss mediated by evaporative water loss are lower than those previously reported for more xerophilic species. Overall rates of water turnover and evaporative water loss at lower ambient temperatures are at the lower end of the range predicted for birds.
