Abstract
MESSRS. NEUMANN AND ESTROVICH have recorded1 some experiments on the conditions of spontaneous inflammation of the mixture C5H12 plus 8O2 when heated in an iron bomb and in a bomb the inner surface of which was covered with gold. The peculiar relation which they find between pressure and ignition-temperature also appears in some unpublished work of the late H. B. Dixon.
