Paul and Sreenathan reported abnormally high values of limiting equivalent conductances for several protonic and Lewis acids in DMF and suggested a proton‐jump mechanism (similar to that which is known to exist in water) to explain these data. However, it has been found that these abnormally high values are grossly in error. The error, apparently is made by a uniformly constant factor and seems to have manifested itself in one set of their measurements; it cannot be attributed to be due to a difference in the extrapolation of
Anormalvs.c
plots. A careful repetition of their work has revealed values which support the earlier work of Thomas and Rochow and Sears et al., and excludes abnormal proton conductance in DMF. The conductance data have been treated with Shedlovsky's equation and the values of
K
have been calculated from the slopes of the plots of
