%X The electric birefringences displayed by the above two liquids have been measured photometrically at wavelengths between 375 and 625 m&#956;, and Kerr constants B&#955; computed relatively to benzene, for which B589 is 0.410 x 10-7 at 25º. Empirical equations connecting B&#955; values and refractive indexes with X are developed, and compared in applicability with others from the literature. Data necessary for the determination of molar Kerr constants of coloured solutes in the named solvents are also recorded.
