Abstract: Thirty contributors for 27 chapters were selected for revision of the first edition of this book (Spec. Paper 36, edited by Birch, Scherer, Spicer, 1942); most of these are cited individually. Introductions to sections are brief, and in the text, to encourage a critical attitude, measurements by different observers of ostensibly the same physical properties have been included. It is hoped that this new compilation will draw attention to areas where more adequate data are needed.
