Abstract: A phenomenological theory of diffusion is given along the lines of the treatment of De Groot and Mazur1). Simple relations between the diffusion matrices of the various kinds of composition variables are established. In linear approximation all kinds of composition variables obey Fick's second law. The special role of the mean volume velocity is discussed and attention is given to Onsager coefficients and mobilities (friction coefficients).
