NaCl Hydrates?

Quick Question (and I need a very quick answer please):

Does NaCl form any hydrates and if so what ratio? (1, 3, 6 etc...)

Thanks in advance...

No. Not if we can rely on Merck Index. No hydrates.

Actually it does, but only under cold to freezing conditions, see attached

I saw that while I was searching for the answer but I didn't read in to it very much.

Interesting. Thanks not_important.
