A glance at table II will show how these compare with the 
results of other determinations. It will be remarked that, 
although i in no case do the figures (with the exception of Nee- 
sen’s) differ very greatly among themselves, s til, there is a re- 
mar vis discrepancy in the indications of ais ition of the 
minim The values deduced from the mechanical equiva- 
lent ange place the minimum at about 80°, while those 
obtained from direct SS as aig! place it at about
