The progress made in developing the molecular theory of matter in the liquid state has been retarded by the circumstance that the experimental data, available for the purpose of testing theoretical conclusions, are scanty. For such a purpose the latent heat of the vapour of a suitable liquid would be particularly useful. Numerous formulae expressing the latent heat of vapours at high temperatures as a function of two or more of the physical constants of the vapour and liquid have been proposed. Some of the references to the best known of these are- Bakker (ʻZ. f. Physik. Chem.,’ vol. 18, p. 519, 1895); Crompton (ʻProc. Chem. Soc.,’ vol. 17, p. 61, 1901); Mills (‘J. Phys.
