Abstract
Mason's theory of Rochelle salt is critically examined in relation to Bancroft's high-pressure measurements of the dielectric constant. It is shown that, though the theory as it stands cannot explain the results, it can be made to do so fairly well by a slight modification. The theory, however, requires the effective dipole moment to vary with volume in an unexpected way, and no satisfactory explanation has been found for this.Keywords
