Abstract
IN a recent communication1, measurements of conductivity and thermo-electric power of selenium single crystals were reported. These have now been supplemented by a determination of the Hall effect on one such crystal. An A.C. method of measurement was used in which direct current was passed through the specimen held in a magnetic field alternating at 80 c./s. This was found necessary in order to reduce the noise-level below that of the signal.
