Abstract
THE last number of the Journal of the Russian Physical and Chemical Society (1891, No. 5) contains an important paper, by Prof. Mendeleeff, upon the variation of the density of water at different temperatures. In a work, published in 1884 and translated into English in the Journal of the Chemical Society, the Russian Professor proposed the formula St = So(I – kt) as a first approximation to a mode of expressing the expansion of liquids at a certain distance from the temperatures at which they change their state, and within the limits of accuracy attained in the present determinations. But he remarked that the expansion of water would require a separate formula, and he now proposes the formula
