Extract

According to the views which we expressed recently (Proc. Roy. Soc. 1929, 124 A, 322) the solid condensed, liquid condensed, expanded and vaporous types of unimolecular films on the surface of aqueous solutions are the two-dimensional analogues of the solid, liquid crystal or smectic, liquid and vapour states of bulk matter. The previously-unsuspected observation that the films show triple point phenomena supports these conclusions.
