Iinmediately after the close of the voliimetric expermients 

 the latent heat was determined of the water-samples IV, V & 

 VI. In the following table I give also a description of some 

 determmations on a watersample taken by Mr. Tornoe from 

 the surface of the arctic sea, south-east of Jan Mayn, 68° 32'
