Abstract
The calculations presented are an extension of the work of Bashforth & Adams (1883) to give the shapes of pendant drops of liquids for values of $\beta $ from -0$\cdot $25 to -0$\cdot $6 at intervals of 0E$\cdot $025. The results have been used to calculate, to an accuracy of 0$\cdot $001 to 0$\cdot $01%, the constants needed for measuring surface and interfacial tensions by the method suggested by Andreas, Hauser & Tucker (1938), which has thus been made independent of calibration.
