Abstract
DR. BRADLEY has very successfully correlated data from diverse fields of study to show the essential agreement in density determinations on montmorillonite pastes. In this connexion it is interesting to note that early determinations carried out at this Institute, and referred to previously1, fall quite nicely on the spur of the curve above 77 per cent solids.
