It will be seen that the observations lead to the following conclusions. If the transverse field is zero, then cooling the bismuth always reduces its resistance. If then the bismuth is transversely magnetised, the resistance is increased, and for every temperature below the normal one (about 20° C.), there is some particular strength of transverse field, which just annuls the effect of the cooling, and brings the resistance of the bismuth back again to the same value it had when not cooled, and not in any magnetic field. Hence the curves showing the resistance at any temperature lower than the normal one (20° C.) as a function of the transverse field, cross the curve showing the resistance as a function of the field when taken at the normal temperature. These crossing points are, however, not identical for
