Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The points on the binodal curve were determined by the formation of a cloudy mixture on shaking after the addition of a known mass of one component to a mixture of known masses of the other two components. Precision weighing syringes were used as described by the refractive index method reported in Ref. 2 and a complementary method using the Karl Fischer titrations as reported in Ref. 3.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Merck, AR grade; distilled, dried by the addition of anhydrous potassium carbonate, distilled; purity better than 99.6 mole % by glc.
   (2) BDH; used as received; purity better than 99.6 mole % by glc.
   (3) Source not specified.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: Not reported.
   Temperature: Estimated comp. 0.005 mole fraction on the binodal curve and 0.01 mole fraction for tie lines (estimated by the authors).
