An attempt was made to measure electronic conductivity in lead bromide in equilibrium with lead, since experimental data on the cell -Pb/PbBr,/C+ in the literature are not consistent with existing theories. Combination of our results with published data for bromine-induced hole conduction in lead bromide shows that neither our data, nor the published conduction data obtained with the afore-mentioned cell arrangement, are in agreement with electronic currents. It turned out that complete steady-state iondischarge blockings has not been achieved, and that ionic currents have dominated.
