This present study examines the dependence of resistivity on temperature in the intervals 4. 2-47 and 63-77. 3 degree K in specimens of vanadium of various purity, including a specimen with delta //0 equals 6. 6 multiplied by 10** minus **4. The values of the superconductive transition temperature T//c of vanadium as a function of metal purity as presented by various authors disagree sharply. Therefore it was of interest to establish this value in pure specimens. 27 refs.
