Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   An excess of bromobenzene in 500 g water was shaken for 12 hrs. in a thermostat bath. Samples were then withdrawn and read against water in an interferometer made by Zeiss (1). A detailed description of the complete procedure is given in a Ph.D. dissertation (2).

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Eastman Kodak Co., was purified by fractional distillation before use.
   (2) Distilled.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ± 2%.
   Temperature: ± 0.02 K.
