The material of this paper constitutes an extension to new liquids of measurements of volume as a function of pressure and temperature by the sylphon method recently developed and described.1 The appara tus, and methods of experiment and calculation were the same as in the first paper and need not be described again in detail. Most of the liquids of this paper were chosen particularly with a view to finding organic liquids which should be as incompressible as possible. One of the interesting results which had appeared in the previous paper on summarizing all available data for the volume of organic liquids at high pressures was the exceptionally low compres sibility of glycerine, which stands in a class by itself with a compres sibility about one half as great as that of water, which in its turn is of
