For the molten cadmium halides the results are substantially consistent with the model suggested for group II A halides, with an indication of a small degree of polymerization. Molten zinc halides resemble beryllium chloride in structural type. The conductance of mercuric chloride and bromide is consistent with a model: (Hg
