        Specific heats of crystalline and liquid MeOH, EtOH, and BuOH were measured in an aneroid calorimeter with Cu block as a thermostat from liquid-air temperature to 25°.  The accuracy was 0.5%.  MeOH has a 2d crystalline form with a transition at 161.1° K.  its heat of transition is 4.4 cal./gm. at 161.1° K.  Its specific heat at 168.3° K., 0.40 cal./gm.  Its heat of fusion at 175.3° is 23.7.
