Experiments on the flow of liquid helium through glass capillaries ranging in diameter from 0.025 cm. to 0.0036 cm., and with lengths varying from 2 cm. to 26 cm. were carried out. Normal laminar flow was obtained for He I with a viscosity of the order of 10−5 c.g.s. units. For He II it was found that the flow could be expressed as the sum of a laminar flow plus an additional pressure-independent flow. The laminar portion, which obeyed Poiseuille's law, gave a viscosity of the order of 10−3 c.g.s. units. The pressure-independent portion appears to be partially due to "creep" over the top of the reservoir, but there still remains an additional pressure-independent flow through the capillaries. This additional flow depends among other things on the intensity of illumination and is evidently connected with the "fountain" effect.

We measured water flow in simple xylem vessels of Sechium edule at various pressures. We found a disagreement with Poiseuille's law, which changes from vessel to vessel and becomes abruptly pronounced in some cases. We discuss our data in terms of an 'impediment coefficient,' K. It can be shown that the total flux in a stem, calculated as the sum of the flux in single vessels, agrees quite well with the data reported in literature.

By the application of Poiseuille's law to the rate of flow of water through collodion membranes, it is calculated that the membranes used had pore radii of the order of 0.3 to 2 x 10–6 cm. On the same basis the number of pores per sq. cm. appears to vary from 270 x 1010 to 7 x 1010, decreasing with increase in pore size. Reasons are given for preferring these figures for the radii to figures, 100 times as large, which were calculated by others. Microscopic examination of the membranes, with dark-field illumination, indicates that they are made up of solid granules or filaments of collodion much less than 1 x 10–4 cm. in thickness.
