  It is shown that the meso-phase hypothesis of Woodcock L. V. fails to
describe quantitatively and qualitatively the isochoric and isobaric heat
capacities, speed of sound, long wavelength limit of the structural factor,
isothermal compressibility, density fluctuations, Joule-Thompson coefficient
and isothermal throttling coefficient of argon in the meso-phase region. It is
also shown that VdW-EOS can describe qualitatively the excess Gibbs energy and
rigidity of argon near critical point.
