A comparison of the measurements of the specific conductance of seawater by Thomas, Thompson, and Utterback and of sodium chloride solutions by Bremner, Thompson, and Utterback shows that the temperature dependence of the two are essentially the same. The data are consistent with those of Gheorghiu and Calinicenco, but their conclusion that the temperature coefficient of conductance of seawater is measurably greater than that of sodium chloride solutions is in error.
