elements in the solid state, and also between the atomic vol- 
umes of some other solid elements of which no liquid com- 
pounds are known. : : 
A few relations between the atomic volumes of different 
metals have previously been observed. Chief of these we find 
the equality of the atomic volumes of the metals of the iron

The alkaline metals most appropriately come first in order. 
For the first four only have we any data, since cesium has not 
been isolated. he specific gravities are as follows. Lithium —
