The long-standing discrepancies between theory and experiment in the magnetic elastic and inelastic scattering of electrons from the deuteron at high momentum transfer are reexamined. It is concluded that the predictions using most deuteron models agree with the elastic scattering data if one employs the presently accepted dipole fit (with scaling) for the proton and neutron form factors. A second conclusion is that the inelastic scattering to the $^{1}S_{0}$ state is not affected by small changes in the nucleon form factors, but is completely dominated by dynamic effects such as those due to meson-exchange diagrams.
From the results of Feenberg and Wigner for the wave function and term character of the ground state of light nuclei (mass number between 6 and 16), the nuclear spins are determined. For those nuclei which contain (or lack) a single proton (or neutron) and an even number (singlet state) of particles of the other kind the considerations of Inglis suffice to determine the spin. For those nuclei which contain a half-filled $p$ shell in one kind of particle it is necessary to calculate the fine structure splitting explicitly. From the spins thus found and with the experimental values for the magnetic moments of the proton and neutron, the nuclear magnetic moments are calculated. The effects on the nuclear moment of the Heisenberg forces and of the motion of the $1s$ shell are considered. The moment of ${\mathrm{Li}}^{7}$ which is of particular interest, is calculated to be 3.07 nuclear magnetons. This is in agreement with the measured value of 3.20 n. m.
