Hi all,

From Robert Lamb:

"Got to reviewing past editions of "HCP",
(Handbook of Chem & Physics), and caught onto
apparent disparagement of diamagnetism data -
older copies are from turn-of-century data and
CARBON WAS BEST!! (over bismuth)

Then from 1970 on, HCP used French Institute
data which put carbon down.  Even 1997 copy
here in library shows no tables of diamagnetism
data, but does have nice graph of the elements
only.  Suspect that anisotrophism maybe
involved, like many crystalline structures."
