treated in the same way, except that it was necessary to start from a 

 shghtly different formula, to be given on page 67. 



It would have been possible to dispense with this finer adjustment 

 by means of a difference curve with very little change in the final 

 result, because the changes of volume obtained from the original

smooth curves were almost the same as given by the final computa- 

 tion. Table I shows for one liquid (methyl alcohol, chosen at random) 

 the very slight changes made by this readjustment. 



The values obtained by this computation start from 500 kgm. as 

 the zero. The change of volume between atmospheric pressure and 

 500 kgm. has been taken directly from the results of Amagat in those 

 cases where his data are sufficient. In some cases where Amagat does 

 not give the data, it has been necessary to use the more inaccurate 

 values of the present method. In the detailed presentation of data 

 for each liquid, the values taken from Amagat are given. If it should 

 happen at any future time that more probable values than these of
