In several previous communications we have described the investigations made by us on the dielectric constants of various frozen organic bodies and electrolytes at very low temperatures. In these researches we employed a method for the measurement of the dielectric constant which consisted in charging and discharging a condenser, having the given body as dielectric, through a galvanometer 120 times in a second by means of a tuning-fork interrupter. During the past summer we have repeated some of these determinations and used a different method of measurement and a rather higher frequency. In the experiments here described we have adopted Nernst’s method for the measurement of dielectric constants, using for this purpose the apparatus as arranged by Dr. Nernst which belongs to the Davy-Faraday Laboratory.
