Abstract
THE anomaly in the specific heat of liquid helium at 2.19° K. has the same shape as that of the -point anomaly in crystalline substances. In crystalline bodies the -point anomaly, similar to that shown by ferromagnetic bodies at the Curie point, is due to some process connected with a change of order in the crystal.
