Abstract
I WISH very briefly to supplement the remarks made in a previous communication on this subject in which I have suggested that the viscosity of liquids and its variation with temperature may be explained on the hypothesis that the liquid state of aggregation is composite in character; that is, is composed in part of molecules “rigidly” attached to each other as in a solid, and in part of molecules which are relatively mobile as in the gaseous state (NATURE, April 21, P. 532).
