In a previous communication to the Royal Society we have pointed out the behaviour of electrolytically prepared bismuth when cooled to very low temperatures, and at the same time subjected to transverse magnetisation. During the last summer we have extended these observations, and completed them, as far as possible, by making measurements of the electrical resistance of a wire of pure bismuth, placed transversely to the direction of the field of an electromagnet, and at the same time subjected to the low temperature obtained by the use of liquid air. Sir David Salomons was so kind as to lend us for some time his large electromagnet, which, in addition to giving a powerful field, is provided with the means of easily altering the interpolar distance of the pole pieces, and also for changing from one form of pole piece to another.

By solving the fundamental integral equation an expression is obtained for the electrical resistance which takes into account, to the first approximation, the mutual influence of the impurities and the lattice vibrations. It is found that deviations from Matthiessen's rule are to be expected and that these deviations are surprisingly large. The formulae derived only indicate the trend of the resistance curve, but this trend is not confirmed by experiment. Whereas the theory indicates that the mutual influence of the impurities and the lattice vibrations should decrease the electrical resistance, the experimental results of Grüneisen on copper show that, when deviations from Matthiesen's rule occur, the resistance is increased.
