Solution of Atmospheric Nitrogen and Oxygen by Water. 389 



The observations were reduced to a uniform volume of 

 100 c.c, and the lines representing the mean of each pair 

 of experiments are given in fig. 1. It will be seen that they 

 tend to meet in a point on the ^-axis, this point representing 

 the saturation value of the water for the temperature of the 

 experiment. The agreement between the different values 

 for this quantity is shown in the column headed " iv " in 

 Table IV.
