value of chloramin T against Staphylococcus aureus as compared with its 

 extremely low value against Bacillus pyocyaneus. 



(5) The results of the experiments upon anthrax spores show that the 

 germicidal action of chlorin compounds is not always so speedy as is 

 commonly supposed but may extend over several days. 



(6) The addition of ammonia to solutions of chlorin or hypochlorites 

 very greatly increases germicidal activity and tends to prevent deprecia- 

 tion in value on the addition of organic matter.
