Tables are presented for the second virial coefficient of a Lennard-Jones ( m -6) gas in reduced variables for seven values of m . A wide range of reduced temperatures, in a mesh chosen for ease of interpolation, is covered. Values are given for the classical term and three quantum corrections as well as the first two temperature derivatives of each of these terms. A discussion of the variation of behavior with m , especially at the limits m = 6 and m = ∞ , is included.
