* No attempt at completeness is made in this list. It is intended merely as a guide to the litera- 

 ture of the subject, useful in connection with the following tables. Papers earlier than those of 

 Dulong and Petit, and many very important papers upon the specific heat of gases, are entirely 

 omitted. Among such papers may be mentioned those of Clement and Desormes, Delaroche and 

 Berard, Lavoisier and Laplace, Irvine, Crawford, Wilke, Black, Haykraft and Mayer.
