Abstract
In previous work on diamagnetism the author has brought forward evidence that the magneton may prove to be a constituent of diamagnetic as well as of paramagnetic and ferro-magnetic matter. Certain properties of diamagnetic crystalline media can be interpreted as due to the effects of intense local intermolecular forces which if interpreted magnetically are comparable with the Weiss molecular field in ferro-magnetic substances. This suggests the possibility that in the molecules of diamagnetic substances there may be elements of magnetism arranged in such a way that the molecule is self-compensated, so that experimentally the effect of applying an external magnetic field gives a diamagnetic effect only.
