electricity causing the combination of gases, and also to deter- 

 mine the conductivity of gases when uniting. Thus far in the 

 work an empirical measure has been used which is the amount 

 of oxygen and hydrogen combining in one eudiometer while 

 gases in the other eudiometer also combined, the same current 

 passing through both eudiometers. The mixture of hydrogen 

 and oxygen used in all of the work was obtained by the elec- 

 trolysis of dilute sulphuric acid. The following experiments 

 with hydrogen and oxygen in both eudiometers were made to 

 test the method. The reduced volume is calculated for 0° C. 

 and 760 mm pressure. The time of the action of the current is 

 given in hours in the column on the left.

 through both for a few minutes and observed tbe volume later.
