In the following are communicated the results of the measurements of the specific heats under constant pressure, made with the metals vanadium. niobium, tantalum and molybdenum, which all, in the shape of massive bars, could be obtained by us in a very pure state. If necessary, all these metalls were preliminarily brought into their "stabilized" condition by a suitable thermal treatment, as formerly described.T h e measurements a t a definite temperature were always repeated several times and the indication of the thermocouples, as well as their corrections, often controlled by intercalated determinations of the specific heats of stabilized platinum. T h e exactness and reproducibility of the measurements proved to be 0.1 -0.2 of the values indicated. 4 2. Vanadium. Purest vanadium in the form of preliminarily melted and then solidified droplets was most kindly furnishefl us by Mr. J. Strauss. Chief Research Engineer of the Vanadium Corporation of America of Bridgeville (Pa). It was enclosed in a vacuum platinum crucible of the construction formerly described I ) and the specific heats were determined with the usual care. The weight ot V d was :14.367 g, that of the platinum: 30.540 g ; the temperatures were checked several times by means of ?,-determinations of purest platinum, with the purpose of avoiding wrong indications of the thermocouples b y occasional contamination. According to Bolton ' ) vanadium melts a t 1680' C, according to Ruff3) a t about 1720' C, the now accepted value being: 1715' C. T h e metal, like niobium, tantalum, etc., crystallizes in the cubic system '), with a body-centred lattice: a,= 3.04 A : its density is: 5.98. I) F. M. Jaeger and E .
