The sp. heat data reported by Dulong and Petit in 1816 were examd. and compared to modern data. At least some of the data upon which Dulong and Petit based their law of const. at. heat capacity appears to have been fabricated, particularly the sp. heats of cobalt and tellurium. Other sp. heats may have been fabricated as well, or at least recycled from an earlier publication that was supposed to have involved a different measurement method and temp. range.
