Abstract
THIS reprint contains the account of the proceedings of the General Discussion held in April (see NATURE, 134, 802, May 26, 1934) together with an appendix consisting of a table of values of dipole moments for which Dr. N. V. Sidgwick and two collaborators are responsible. This appendix is a most valuable part of the report, since it contains not only the numerical values of the moments of a large number of substances, but also references to the original publications and such information as may be required in the interpretation of the data. The discussion dealt with the dielectric constant, the determination of dipole moments and the interpretation of dipole moments, and the papers contributed and the discussions on them are now available. The volume is one of considerable interest and value, and the Faraday Society is to be congratulated both on the success of the meeting at Oxford and also on the very material addition to knowledge which is represented by this volume. The type of binding of the reports has been improved.
