7, which I have borrowed from a table calculated by 

 Clausius 1 from Kegnault's observations and displayed 

 in the annexed table, are to be taken ; and the values of the 

 ratios in the last three columns, which I have deduced from 

 them, must be similarly judged. 



In addition to the values of the ratio of the kinetic 

 energy K of the molecules to the whole heat-energy H, this 

 table also contains, like the former one, the values of the 

 ratios of the mean energy (g of all the n atoms of a mole- 

 cule and of the mean value e for a single atom to the energy
