few exceptions all frozen electrolytes would, in all probabilit}-, if 

 reduced to temperatures not far above the absolute zero, have their 

 dielectric constants approximately equal, and reduce to a value not 

 far from 2 or 3. At the same time the electric resistivity of such 

 frozen electrolytes would tend to become infinite as the temperature 

 is continuously reduced. 



In the very great labour of taking and reducing the above 

 numerous observations, Mr. J. E. Petavel has rendered us much 

 valuable service.
