It is pointed out that optical isotope shifts between even-even isotopes in the medium-heavy elements show variations which are similar from one element to another, and that these variations are associated with particular values of N – Z , where N and Z refer to neutron and proton numbers respectively. Since the isotope shifts depend on differences in the mean square radii of the nuclear charge distribution, this correlation is evidence for some degree of a-particle structure in these nuclei. Further evidence from the energies of the first excited levels of the nuclei is also briefly considered.

A model of nuclear shape oscillations is set up for an arbitrary nuclear charge distribution. For a uniform charge distribution the model reduces to the liquid drop model. The model is used to consider ?-transitions and electron excitation of nuclei. Explicit expressions are obtained for four charge distributions: (a) uniform, (b) Gaussian, (c) exponential, (d) uniform with Gaussian "edge". The theory predicts a relative angular distribution of electrons scattered by the 4�43 MeV level of 12C in agreement with the experimental results of Fregeau and Hofstadter (1955), but gives a scattered intensity seven times too large.
