The electrical resistivity of Nb-V alloys has been measured around 250 "C. Together with published values of the susceptibility and the electronic part of the specific heat the contribution of spin fluctuations t o the depression of the superconducting transition temperature, T,, has been estimated. A calculation of T, based on experimental resistivity, susceptibility, and specific heat and with one adjustable parameter shows qualitative agreement with the observed T, over the whole alloy system and reasonable quantitative agreement in the dilute B V region. Further evidence for the existence of spin fluctuations in Nb-V and a n enhanced electron-phonon coupling constant L in V is derived from the observed rate of depression of T, with V concentration, published band structure calculations for V, and published Knight shift relaxation times.La rksistivit6 des alliages Nb-V a kt6 determinire aux environs de 250 "C.
