✦ Synopsis

The resistivity ratio of polycrystalline pure mercury is obtained over the temperature range 1.65 to 234 K. At temperatures below 3 K this ratio is proportional to T 5 and above 50 K to T. Measurements of magnetoresistance extrapolated to zero field are used below 4.2 K. At intermediate temperatures the data may be fit using the Gruneisen-Bloch equation with a characteristic temperature of 35 K. Corrections for resistivity at constant volume and size effects are discussed.
