This communication describes a series of experiments carried out at the Heriot-Watt College, Edinburgh, on behalf of the Oxygen Research Committee, Scientific and Industrial Research Department. The experiments may be regarded as continuing a line of inquiry introduced by a paper read before the Society in 1921; their aim was to obtain data in regard to the rate of decay of the vacua (i.e. the rate of increase of the pressure in the vacuum envelope) of metallic Dewar vessels.
