130 INJURY, EECOVERY, AND DEATH 



we might use mixtures of B with another solution of B 

 having the same toxicity as A. The two methods might 

 not give exactly the same result. This is an additional 

 argument in favor of using equally toxic solutions. 



An illustration of this method is found in the results 

 given in Table VIII. The growth in the various mixtures 

 (additive and antagonistic) was in part determined 

 directly and in part was calculated from results obtained 

 by growing plants in mixtures having almost the

The percentages refer to molecular proportions; that is, 75 per cent. CaClz+25 per cent. 

 NaCI means a solution in which 75 per cent, of the dissolved molecules are CaCh and 

 25 per cent, are NaCI.

 table mentioned. 



For the sake of completeness it may be mentioned 

 that other types of antagonism curves are found; for
