| Summary: | The research which we now have the honour of submitting to the Royal Society, and of which a preliminary notice was published in the Society's Proceedings, was instituted with the view of throwing some further light upon what Dr. Andrews calls the "critical state" of matter. In his famous Bakerian lecture, after a very careful discussion of the question, Dr. Andrews says : "Carbonic acid at 35·5° C., and under a pressure of 108 atmospheres, stands nearly midway between the gas and the liquid, and we have no valid grounds for assigning it to the one form of matter any more than to the other. |
