1. The author remarks, that in giving an account of these experimental researches, it is first necessary to define strictly the manner in which theconductivity orconducting power of a substance with reference to heat, is accuratelymeasured . For this purpose, conceive the conducting substance to be bounded by two parallel plane surfaces of indefinite extent, the distance between them beingh .
