Abstract
IN a paper by Mr. A. J. Berry and myself read before the Royal Society on December 9, on the thermal conductivities of gases at very low pressures, we showed that for the heavier monatomic gases, neon and argon, the experimental conductivity agreed (as well as could be expected from the present state of the measurements) with that calculated from the kinetic theory from the number of impacts of the molecules per sq. cm. per second and the molecular heat of the gas, assuming perfect interchange of energy on impact.
