The longitudinal and transverse acoustic wave velocities in a polycrystalline magnesium-cadmium alloy containing 50.6 atomic per cent cadmium were measured using the pulsed ultrasonic method. The alloy was prepared by fusing together spectroscopically pure magnesium and cadmium under a blanket of helium purified by evaporation. Experimental details concerning preparation and analysis of the alloy and the method employed in measuring the sound velocities are given elsewhere.
