The permitted transitions 2s21S-2s2p1P and 2s2p3P-2p23P in the Bel-like ions CIII, NIV and OV have been observed for some years in the solar spectrum (Hall et al., 1963). Recently, intensity data have also been obtained for the intercombination line 2s21S-2s2p3P1 in these ions (Burton et al., 1970). A large number of excitation rate coefficients are needed before the intensity ratios of these transitions can be computed and compared with those observed. These excitation cross-sections are now becoming available (Osterbrock, 1970; Eissner, private communication), and the present paper gives the results of an analysis of the intensity data. Figure 1 shows a partial term scheme for the Bei-like ions and the observed transitions.
