Abstract
The velocity of 1-MHz sound waves has been measured in along several isotherms just above the critical temperature. The results indicate that along the critical isotherm, the quantity diverges approximately logarithmically as a function of . Such a singularity at the critical point is to be expected in view of the corresponding singularity in . Additional velocity measurements were made in the saturated liquid, along isotherms several tenths of a degree above , and along the 4.5 and 5.0°K isotherms in the liquid. The specific-heat ratio has been calculated along the latter two isotherms and along the critical isotherm.
