Abstract
RECENT work by Pierce (Proc. Amer. Acad. Arts and Sci., 60, No. 5; 1925, and Abello, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci., 13, p. 699; 1927) has directed attention to the high attenuation experienced by ultra-sonic waves in passing through carbon dioxide and, to a lesser extent, hydrogen or helium. It is possible to correlate this absorption and the attendant frequency variation of velocity with the mechanisms of collisions of the first and second kinds.
