Abstract
IN a recent paper,1 Gerlach and Schneiderhan have described some experiments on the electrical resistance of nickel as a function of the temperature and as a function of a longitudinal external magnetic field. They have shown that in the absence of an external magnetic field there is, in addition to the normal linear change of resistance with temperature, a term which is directly proportional to the energy of spontaneous magnetisation. The accuracy with which this relation holds good for all temperatures up to the Curie point is very striking.
