From the mean correction of each, of these five groups we obtain the following corrections for
the different boiling-points.

98 to 96 — 0-09
95-99 to 94 — 0-10
93-99 to 92 — 0-11

91-99 to 90 — 0-12
89-99 to 81 — 0-13

d. Fundamental determination of the corrections. For fundamental determinations,
made for the purpose of testing the limits of accuracy in the tables for reducing
boiling-points into barometric pressure, it was necessary to ascertain:
