    Notes: [Auszug] PROF. H. S. TAYLOR has pointed out to us that it is not clear from our paper on the heats of adsorption of oxygen on charcoal (Blench and Garner, J.C.S.,1924, 125, 1288) that the values were expressed in kgm.-cal. and also that we had not discussed the bearing of these results on the mechanism ...
