kbstract.High precision data for the electrical resistance of dysprosium in the region of the NCel point have been obtained using the Direct Current Comparator method. Results are given for both b-and c-axis samples cut from the same high quality monocrystal. In the immediate vicinity of the Nee1 point (1 T -TNl < 2.5 K), the c-axis resistance, Rc, cannot be convincingly described by a power law, Reasons for this are discussed. However, Rc is described by a power law for 2.5 < T -TN < 60 K and for -15 6 T -TN 5 -2.5 K with exponents $+ = 0.60 and 3 -N 1.25 respectively, In the case of b-axis data, R, is linearly dependent on T for T 2 TN, whereas a power law, of weak amplitude but with $-1 1.25, is valid below T,. The results suggest that dRjdT varies as the magnetic specific heat below TN for both the b-and c-axis resistance $ Present address:
