Abstract
The alpha‐form of sodium stearate, originally reported by Thiessen and Stauff, and of which a sample was made available to us, has been re‐examined and the data found to be in general conformity with those of the previous investigation. Re‐examination of their monoclinic betaform of sodium stearate, obtained by heating the rhombic form above 54°C, yields a different set of data. A new, more stable, monoclinic form of sodium stearate has been examined and designated as the gamma‐form.
