Sea- Water. 
The experiments with sea-water were carried out and the immediate results treated 
exactly as in the case of pure water. The process offered no special difficulty, yet 
the results were, on the whole, less satisfactory; a greater number of them than in 
the case of pure water failed to stand the critique of the first curve, and had to be thrown 
out. 
Values for \. 
Groups I. and II. — 8 experiments ; t from 12°'8 to 14°‘4. Adopted mean temperature, 
t Q = 14 o, 0; X (mean) = 17'31. 
Group III. — 4 experiments at £ = 20°'l to 20°'3. £ 0 = 20°'0 ; X=15'G9. 
Group IV. — 2 experiments at 17°‘l and 18°‘0. X for 18°'0 = 1G'G7. 
Groups III. and IV. combined, and reduced to 19°*0 ; X=16'10.
