Abstract
IN recent issues of NATURE, Messrs. Wolfke and Mazur have recorded discontinuities in the temperature coefficients of the density and of the di-electric constant of nitrobenzene ; and they specify the melting point of their purified material as 5.5°.1 It appears that this is taken by them to be the true melting point of nitrobenzene of really high purity.
