Abstract
THE recent communication by Dr. W. R. G. Atkins1 directs attention to a considerable amount of confusion which still exists in statements of numerical results and constants. I suggest that one major change which is desirable is to adopt the bar as the unit of pressure in place of the millimetre of mercury.
