* Estimated volumes at melting temperature, 



t Experiment gives the rise at the rate of 0-00525" between the pres- 

 sures of I and 519 atmospheres. Between 519 and 729 the rate is only 

 0-ooi88°. This change is probably due to differences in the elasticity of the 

 solid and fluid, and indicates that for very high pressures the rate may be 

 reversed. 



J E.xperimental determination — 0-0078. Water is about twice as com- 

 pressible as ice ; the rate of rise should therefore increase with increasing 

 pressure, particularly as the latent heat decreases with falling temperature.
