Brill, 1 Pott2 and Zavriev. 8 Quite recently, B. H. Riesenfeld4 has dis-cussed the data of each of these authors. He concludes that, owing to errors in the measurement of pressure or of temperature, or of both, the data of the first three authors are altogether untrustworthy, and sets up an involved empirical formula to express the mean results of Zavriev and Pott. Pott made four series of measurements over the temperature range 600-900; these, however, are by no means so concordant as might be wished, e. g., for 892 he found pressures whichvaried from 593 mm. to 776 mm. Still, a curve drawn through the midst of his points coincides approximately with that which represents the results of Zavriev, which are relatively few in number but more concordant among themselves. From theresults of either author it follows that the dissociation point (i. e., the temperature at which the pressure of carbon dioxide is one atmosphere) is close to 910. This value was confirmed by special ex-periments made by Riesenfeld, who determined anew the temperature at which a loss of weight occurred when the carbonate was heated in an atmosphereof pure carbon dioxide. He showed, moreover, that the possibility of formation of solid solutions of calcium oxide in the car-bonate and vice versa is practically excluded, while it was shown by Zavriev that no basic carbonate exists. It has therefore now been definitely proved that the dissociation of calcium carbonate proceeds according to the scheme CaC03 CaO+ C02, and to that scheme solely. The discrepancies in the results are thus to be attributed entirely eitherto errors in themeasurement of the tem-perature of the substance, or to errors in the pressure, due either to the fact that equilibrium conditionshad not been attained or to the presence of water vapor or of some other impurity capable of developing a pres-
