Abstract
BY correlating the magnetic constants of a diamagnetic crystal with those of the individual molecules constituting it, calculated from measurements on the magnetic double refraction of the substance in the liquid state, or from other considerations, it is possible to obtain direct information regarding the orientations of the molecules in the crystal. In a paper which is in course of publication, the results of some magnetic measurements by Mr. S. Banerjee and me on a number of organic crystals are discussed from this point of view.
