✦ Synopsis

The measurements of Winkel, Broese van Groenou and Gorter on the heat conduction in liquid h'elfum II have been extended to lower temperatures. At 1.1 and 1.2°K the heat conduction still appears to be proportional to the cube of the slit width h in not too narrow slits. The viscosity computed from these data thus appears to have physical significance. There is a tendency for the viscosity to rise at the lowest temperatures but this effect is not so pronounced as has been found in oscillating disc and rotating viscometer experiments.

No Knudsen or Klemens effects have been found.
