He subsequently experimented, in a similar way, with other metals, and finally adopted Senarmont's method for the study of conductibility. From Wordnik.com. [Scientific American Supplement, No. 446, July 19, 1884] Reference
The difference evidently depends on the conductibility of certain rocks. From Wordnik.com. [Voyage au centre de la terre. English] Reference
The greatness of the mass, and the small conductibility of water for heat, prevent a more speedy refrigeration. From Wordnik.com. [Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 1] Reference
The phenomenon that best lent itself to measurement was the conductibility produced in the air by uranium rays. From Wordnik.com. [Pierre Curie] Reference
Investigations on the conductibility provoked in dielectric liquids by the rays of radium and the Roentgen rays. From Wordnik.com. [Pierre Curie] Reference
Here is another experiment for the purpose of showing the conductibility of this power through some bodies and not through others. From Wordnik.com. [The Forces of Matter, Delivered before a Juvenile Auditory at the Royal Institution of Great Britain during the Christmas Holidays of 1859-60] Reference
This apparently astounding acoustic mystery is easily explainable by simple natural laws; it arose from the conductibility of the rock. From Wordnik.com. [Voyage au centre de la terre. English] Reference
In the different books about heat transfer you have formula giving the temperature on the out side as function of internal wall temperature and conductibility of the wall. From Wordnik.com. Reference
Others, by the aid of observations no less certain, proved that heat, applied at the extremity of a bar, is transmitted to the extreme parts with greater or less velocity or intensity, according to the nature of the substance of which the bar is composed; thus they suggested the original idea of conductibility. From Wordnik.com. [Biographies of Distinguished Scientific Men]
These effects are, however, dependent on three variable circumstances; the energy of the electromotive apparatus, the conductibility of the medium, and the irritability of the organs which receive the impressions: it is because experiments have not been sufficiently multiplied with a view to these three variable elements, that, in the action of electric eels and torpedos, accidental circumstances have been taken for absolute conditions, without which the electric shocks are not felt.

(somewhat in analogy with the colours produced at the outside of an imperfectly developed solar spectrum): and the intermediate actions, although not sensible in the same way, may be very important and, for instance, perhaps constitute the very essence of conductibility.
