Measurements of the superconducting transition temperature T/sub c/ for a transforming polycrystalline sample of V$sub 3$Si have been made as a function of hydrostatic pressure up to approximately 29 kbar. T/sub c/ increases over the entire pressure range with no evidence of the previously predicted maximum at approximately 24 kbar. A distinct break in the slope dT/sub c//dP does occur near 16 kbar which is coincident with the discontinuity in the pressure dependence of the lattice parameter reported by Blaugher et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 33: 292 (1974)]. (auth)
