Abstract
We have the honour to lay before the Royal Society the second part of our paper on the Relative Powers of Metals, Alloys, and Amalgams to conduct Heat. Having in our former paper described our experiments upon metals and their alloys, we now give the results obtained with mercury and amalgams. The method followed in the investigations described in this paper is the same as that detailed in our former one; When the amalgams were solid, we melted and cast them in square bars, and filed them down until they were 1 c. m. square and 6 c. m. long; but when the amalgam was fluid, we introduced it into the small iron box (see former paper, Philosophical Transactions for 1858, p. 354) and determined its conducting power.
