Abstract
IN NATURE for April 12, 1930, Prof. E. N. da C. Andrade states his theory of the viscosity of liquids as based upon “a temporary union of molecules in contiguous layers”. This theory has been proposed in order to account for the temperature variation of the coefficient of viscosity in liquids, which is opposite in sign to that of gases. The nature of viscosity must be importantly different in a liquid and a gas.
