  A critical review on excited states of negative ions has been given recently
by Buckman and Clark (1994), in a major update of the review by Schulz (1973).
However, for completeness we include a summary of some known (mainly low lying)
excited states. We include a brief discussion and indicate some problematic
points with additional references. The observation of resonances in gas phase
atomic collisions is discussed in this context. Finally we mention some very
nice new results concerning the observation of these resonant states in
particle surface interactions and briefly discuss the role that they can play.
A table of electron affinities of atomic negative ions is provided at the end.
