Abstract
THE investigations of Isnardi1 have shown that the value of the dielectric constant of carbon disulphide falls suddenly at −90°. This drop appears at a considerable distance from the freezing point (−112°), so the phenomenon shows an analogy to the change of the dielectric constant of ethyl ether with temperature. On the basis of this analogy, it might be reasonably supposed that the values of other physical properties of carbon disulphide would show similar abrupt if less marked changes at −90°.
