In the course of certain research work it became necessary to measure the specific heat of liquid cis and trans decahydrate with great accuracy; The ordinary Williams and Danielle adiabatic calorimeter was found to be impractical* Several years ago a calorimeter for measuring the specific heat of liquid hydrocarbons near room temperatures was developed at the U.S. Bureau of Standards, A study of this instrument proved that it would be the type desirable for the above measurement. Plans were

During the past year such a calorimeter was constructed. It has also been so altered as to permit measurements of the latent heat of fusion to be made with 1 part in 1000.
