The conductivity of lithium nitrate in mixtures of acetone with methyl alcohol, 

 ethyl alcohol, and water, respectively, was determined by Jones and Bingham," 

 using solutions whose concentration varied from F=10 to V= 1,600. The results 

 are as already indicated, namely, that the form of the curves representing molecular 

 conductivity for different percentages of acetone was different from that of the 

 fluidity curves, in that conductivities in acetone were decidedly less than normal, 

 and that no known dilution law would apply to the more concentrated solutions. 

 We have used the same solvents and mixtures of solvents, and have measured the 

 conductivities at dilutions as high as was possible with any fair degree of accuracy, 

 considering the conductivity of the solvent. The results are shown in tables 86 to 89 

 and in figs. 46 to 51, inclusive. In the figures, the curves for V = 10 and V= 1,600 

 are drawn from the data of Jones and Bingham, and are given here in order to show 

 the abnormality produced by acetone as a solvent, and the striking change in the 

 conductivity as the dilution increases.
