Abstract- High resolution cross-section measurements of N2O at 295-299 K
have been performed in the wavelength region 170-222 nm with a 6.65 m 
scanning spectrometer/spectrograph of sufficient resolution to yield 
cross-sections that are independent of the instrumental function.  The 
measured cross-sections are presented graphically and are available
throughout the region 44925-58955 cm-1 at intervals of 0.1-0.2 cm-1 as 
a numerical tabulation stored on magnetic tape from the National Space 
Science Data Center, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD 20771,
U.S.A.  Previously unresolved details of the banded structure which is 
superimposed on the continuous absorption in the region 174-190 nm are 
observed.
