Abstract

In Comm. N° 122b (May 1911) I mentioned that just before this resistance disappeared practically altogether its rate of diminution with falling temperature became much greater than that given by the formula of Comm. N°. 119. In the present paper a closer investigation is made of this phenomenon.

Communicated in the meeting of November 25, 1911>.
