[29] The vapour pressure of water at 0° has recently been very accurately determined by Thiesen and Scheel (loc. cit.), and found to be 4.579 ± 0.001 mm. of mercury (at 0°), or equal to 0.006025 atm.

[34] The pressure of 1 atmosphere is equal to 1.033 kilogm. per sq. cm.; or the pressure of 1 kilogm. per sq. cm. is equal to 0.968 atm.

[37] A field is "enclosed" by two curves when these cut at an angle less than two right angles. It may be useful to remember that an invariant system is represented by a point, a univariant system by a line, and a bivariant system by an area.
