Abstract
WE have described earlier1 some of the features which arise when slightly elastic liquids are made to flow under a pressure gradient through curved pipes of circular cross-section. Our remarks were chiefly concerned with the flow characteristics just before and just after the region which marks the transition from laminar to turbulent flow, and with the transition region itself.
